I'm a bit heartbroken to be honest. I think I'm going to retire from reading Ashley Posten 😢
I absolutely adored The Seven Year Switch and The Dead Romantics. But after A Novel Love Story and now this, I just feel like the magic from her first books just isn't there for me anymore.
I knew that this was going to be meh when I upped the audio speed to 2x at about 60% through to push through it. There were some sweet moments in this, but overall it feel like there was so much having plot wise and yet also nothing. I had an idea of how the telepathy magical realism would work, but I couldn't get past trying to figure out the "rules" of when they could and couldn't hear each other.
