The Do-Over by Bethany Turner
5.0
I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book has perfectly captured how I feel about Central Park! I had just been talking about it with friends and then I read the scene in here and just wow.
Wow.
I loved everything about this and it kept getting better as I went through it. The characters are delightfully flawed humans. They acknowledge their flaws and don't apologize for being exactly who they are. There are things to connect with in each of them but I feel more of a kinship with Mckenna. I've had several different careers and Bethany illustrated that feeling of being uprooted brilliantly.
The romance is also quite masterfully done. I don't often find such a light touch that works well but this does. It actually heightened the tension and not typically romantic moments while still leaving space for the rest of Mckenna's story. I really appreciated the balance here.
I didn't want to finish this because I could've happily spent two more weeks with Henry and Mckenna and the whole family. This story is poignant and funny, heartbreaking and uplifting. It's a rollercoaster of feelings and it's absolutely worth the ride.
