In fear of giving too much away, this is one of those books that I don't know how to review. Unexplainable magic wrapped around a delightfully emotional story about love and living life to fullest. The ending! It filled my heart to the brim.
Whenever Daphne Bell meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper stating how long the relationship will last. An expiration date. And it's never been wrong. But then it finally happens—after her blind date with Jake, the paper is blank ...
With sprinkles of flashbacks of previous relationships, and Daphne now finally in a relationship undefined by time, it was so interesting to see her attempt to understand what exactly the blank page implies.
And that's all I can say. It was heartbreaking yet hopeful, with twists and turns that I did not see coming. The final chapter had me on the edge of my seat. Whew!
(heat level: a couple very brief, very mild open-door scenes)
