Sounds Like Love by Ashley Poston
3.5
adventurous emotional lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

No one is doing magical realism in romance like she does. Seven year slip is still my favourite. 

Lowkey why it’s not rounded up is for the below reason 
- this man’s thoughts were in her head for a long time an the moment that connection snaps she starts having doubts which is fair but like you knew his innermost thoughts for a good while, does that not count for something?! 

I wish the friendship between her and Gigi was done differently. It gave very much token black best friend. I think I wanted something more from their friendship dynamic instead of oh you left and I stayed so your life is great, oh I left and you stayed so your life is great. Like let’s get a grip. 

This is also the third romance book this year that I’ve read which deals with mothers of the FMC having dementia or Alzheimer’s. The former two books are say you’ll remember me by Abby Jimenez and can’t get enough by Kennedy Ryan. 

I love that we are getting to see this in fiction. I cannot say I know how it feels like to be a caretaker, but I’m grateful to be  able to glimpse via the lenses of the daughters of how they manage from day to day.
