This was such an interesting read.
I had this on my TBR and when I read the description I was a bit put off wondering why I wanted to read this. I picked this up eventually for a challenge and I'm happy I did so.
Its an interesting book though with the way its written, pov's and the characters.
POV's start being just the girl called Leah. She is described to me as quite a hippy being but she herself doesn't like that. She has frizzy hair and wears flowy skirts. It flicks to being James' point of view and you start with his POV at the same time you meet Leah at the start of the book, not sure that makes sense. Basically you recap what you have read from her point of view to his point of view; their first meeting, second meeting etc... Its quite a funny read from that way. And eventually it ends up being their story told from chapter to chapter flicking between his and her point of views while their lives are more together than how they started. (I can't explain without giving away too much but I hope you get the gist).
James is a straight laced individual. Hes a plastic surgeon but his life isn't perfect even though he has the money Leah does not. His brother who I have checked is on a downward spiral after losing the pregnant love of his life in a tragic accident which saw them saving the baby. Their sister is the primary care giver to this infant while James is trying to get a handle on Jeremy. I must confess this whole situation puts a very negative light on this brother before we have fully met him...
Leah as said before is a hippy person, she works in a new-age shop for minimum wage. Has a weird landlord who she isn't paying because shes on minimum wage. I like her for all her flaws. The lieing is a big weird. I didn't like that aspect of her but when she gives money to the homeless man I liked her a lot more than I had.
This story is fast paced. I think although its a long book the ending is a big rushed. We spend too long flicking between POVs or recapping you lose the momentum we have in building the romance and love. It ends up seeming a bit wham and I'm not sure that is necessarily fair when the author builds the world and story between these two so well.
