First of all, I love the way Lina describes things, she has such a beautiful way of making things sound beautiful, even in a moment of sadness and heartbreak; and while this book may have a lower rating than what I was hoping to give it, I want to express that she is a beautiful author.
Noel is an absolute sweetheart, but I feel as though the have more of himself to Emma than Emma did to him. He was nothing but wonderful to her and while I understand some of things she did, she always had one foot out of the door, and she wasn’t ready despite saying she was.
Emma is a lovely woman, but she really needed to work on herself before getting into a relationship with Noel after Adam. My heart broke for her over Frank, and I would’ve loved to see more of her in the future wise. My main frustration was her consistent foot out of the door.
The pacing was way too quick for my liking which I felt really affected the chemistry for me. The way the story ended with the epilogue being of how they first met should’ve been at the start of the story, it would’ve of been great to see that chemistry from the start. It almost felt as if things were forced rather than letting it progress naturally.
Despite the slightly low rating, I will be getting the second book as I would really love to know about Caroline’s story! Also, CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THE BEAUTIFUL COVER?! It is GORGEOUS.
