The One That Got Away by Bethany Chase

5.0

I knew I was gonna love this book before reading it. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.

Brilliant pacing that grabs from the first sentence. Complex, relatable characters, especially in Sarina. You care and root for her immediately. Things get messy in ways that are realistic and not too simplified, which they can often be in fictional love stories. Things in this book between Sarina, Noah, and Eamon are complicated and messy, just like love in the real world.

I was surprised how much I liked all the architect stuff. Love how the theme of importance of "home" played throughout the whole story.

I was hooked from the first page and finished this in a day. I loved sharing it with Chase's words and eagerly look forward to her next book.
