4.0

Thank you to NetGalley and G. P. Putnam Sons for the advanced copy for review.

Wren finds out that her fiancée has fallen in love with someone else.
Anders lost his wife and is struggling to move on.
They're half a world apart, but meet when Wren spends time with her dad in the states.

Y'all this is such a slow burn and I loved watching the cat and mouse of Wren and Anders. Not even cat and mouse so much as friends to angsty wanna be lovers who can't be and then there's a plot twist that I really wasn't super okay with. I still liked the story and how the author navigated the plot twist but it still felt icky to me. There was also something in the epilogue that I still can't get out of my head that is bugging the crap out of me. Regardless of the ick and the eye twitch thing in the epilogue I'm still giving 4 stars.
