A magical journey of unrequited love of FMC, who carries a lot of trauma & a single dad MMC 💜
Pick it if you want to read a story of romance, an old murder case dragged up & a cozy family of Edens.
When I was disappointed with crimson river, I picked up this one immediately as I really wanted this to be a good read so that I can finish off the series on a good note. I'm so happy it turned out to be a good read.
Writing an unrequited love from FMC perspective is bit tricky; but it was written well & Vera's character carried it off in the way that makes the readers feel for her.
Vera is someone who has been through a lot at a very young age; that has made her so strong & vulnerable about herself. The journey she goes through to be the best version of herself in spite of everything is inspiring in one way. I loved her a lot; I think she might be my 3rd favourite FMC in this series (✷‿✷)
Mateo clearly comes off as clueless in what he wants or is doing. Adding to the top of that, he discovers he has a kid. So it's a whole lot of mess in his life. The first part of the book focuses on his life & how Vera is his life even without being in a relationship.
Vera & Mateo's relationship starts with them being friends; all those small conversations & gestures that eventually don't lead up to anything until Vera does something drastic. It's like a classic; every one around them knows how Vera is head over heels for Mateo except him. This storyline added a few fun elements too that I enjoyed a lot. But once they were in a relationship it was beautiful & clear and a million.
The other story line that has linked to Vera's personal trauma was written & blended with the romance storyline. Though if I could have not read crimson river & known what had happened this book could have made a perfect read combining both genres. But nevertheless it was written in a way to take the story forward & there was lots of hiking involved which I kind of got bored reading.
Alaina's presence was cute.
And I completely loved the epilogue. I really have a bitter sweet feeling with the series ending. It was indeed a wild ride 💛
