Rating as a movie: PG for adult themes
My rating: πππππ
My thoughts: 6% - October, so this will have more time.
16% - I think this is a misunderstanding trope.
35% - This isn't as good as the December book but I'm enjoying the story.
54% - Lol. Slow but sweet.
I should of had this finished immediately but it just wasn't written that way. It wasn't boring but the first half was slow enough to lull you into moving on. There was no suspense and there was no anticipation, although I thought there should have been since I knew exactly what was gonna happen. I'd read a chapter or 2 feel content, read something else, then return and the cycle continued, until the big reveal. After chapter 10 the pace quicken and the story took off. Even though this book was not as entertaining or humorous as the previous novella, it was most definitely slower, the end result was richer and heartwarming. I will be on the lookout for more from Deborah Raney.
Recommend to others?: Yes. This was a sweet ballad.
