Bring Me Back by Amy Oliveira

slow-paced

3.0

The pacing of this book was… weird. It didn’t really flow like a movie in my head and because of that I struggled to really get into it. Eventually I got used to it and it was more enjoyable. Hallie moved back home after being away for 5 years. Before she left she was bullied and because of that her confidence was way down. Now that she’s back people are recognizing her and still aren’t the nicest to her but she handles it way better than before. Hallie meets Daniel who is quite a bit older than her and just so happens to be her dad’s friend. If you know me you know I love a good age gap story. Hallie is 22 and Daniel is 36. Daniel instantly is drawn to Hallie and they eventually start working together. I loved how patient Daniel was with her and really helped her open up. He was easy to talk to and Hallie enjoyed being around him. It’s a total slow burn situation and at times I felt like it was too slow burn for such a short book. There is a little twist in the book that I didn’t see coming but if I was looking for a twist I’m sure I would have. The book was good and the characters were likable.
