Counting Down To You by Sarah J. Harris

4.25

I read this book because I was curious about the main character’s ability. It seemed more like a burden than a gift, and that made the story quite sad at times. I felt sorry for the characters and everything they had to go through. The story focused a lot on how they were given a second chance to face their struggles and try to change their lives.

The writing was straightforward but didn’t really capture my attention. The pacing was slow, and there wasn’t much emotional connection for me with the characters. I found myself moving through the book without much excitement. The story was clear and easy enough to follow, but it didn’t really stick with me after I finished reading.

The themes about hardship and second chances were present, but I didn’t find the story very engaging. The characters’ struggles felt heavy but distant, and I didn’t feel invested in their outcomes. I think this book might be more appealing to readers who like slow, thoughtful stories and don’t mind a lack of strong emotional moments.
