Change of Hart by Bailey Hannah

3.0

emotional funny hopeful sad tense medium-paced

---

I liked the beginning and the end of this story. Denver & Blair certainly had chemistry but I wanted to see more development between them. It's like one second they met again, then there were constant flashbacks of their past and they were tangled up again in the present very fast. They were both stupid and made mistakes when they were teenagers but I felt like they hadn't grown up much. They were still a bit immature. There was emotional depth and all the characters were solid but I just did not feel connected to them at times tbh. Also, Blair came across as very selfish in the past. She decided to do everything on her own and got mad at Denver after going through the whole process, when she knew that he did not want that. Since he loved her so much and they had their entire life planned out, he definitely had a say in that situation but she was not mature enough to have an open, serious conversation with him and then expected him to show up for her. And the way she kept bringing up him being with other people during their separation was actually annoying. He definitely did some things he was not supposed to, but she was the one who left, so I did not understand her sometimes. Overall, this was a good read, the romance was sweet and some emotional scenes were well written, but the execution did not meet my expectations, smh.
