I was sucked in albeit from a lot of people raving about how amazing this book is. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Was it the most amazing book I’ve ever read? No.
The writing style reminded me a lot of a Lesley Pearce novel, a bit romancy and a bit unrealistic, I guessed the “twist” before it came, it’s a classic what I consider to be a “happy ever after” - all is well and fluffy in the end which I can’t realistically connect to.
That being said, I wanted to keep reading and see what happened but it’s not the emotional rollercoaster I was expecting.
