The First Time We Met
by Jo Lovett
This story had a wonderful premise, meeting your soul mate on the day of their wedding to someone else. I loved the female lead! Isobel is smart and cute and so likable. She was also kind and warm.
The male lead had nothing very likable about him. The sum total of Sam's character is busy workaholic, plagued by self doubt and guilt. We get nothing more and it's a shame. He is also supposed to be American, but it's clear that the author is British because his voice is completely UN-American. His choice of words snd phrases are wholly British. An American would never speak the way he does. Even the structure of his sentences reads British.
This book takes place over the course of 15 years and I really wish it had been condensed. When the story is this spread out and when the main source of communication between the leads is fairly formal and very brief emails, it's hard to feel their emotional connection.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
