i cannot express just how much i loved this book. i am probably going to pick up this book again in the future.
i loved the heroine, especially. she is my type of girl. upon reading her chapter, i know that she was not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. what with her constant chatter and optimistic attitude. i think her ability to find the positives in almost everything was amazing. like i said, she also talked a lot, and she was not really the brightest, which was evidenced in the way she spoke. however these are the reasons why i loved her so much.
you’ll understand why she behaved the way she did once she opened up about her childhood. it was truly the most heartbreaking thing. i wanted to cry for her and just give her the biggest hug. she deserved the world.
the hero’s great. he was standoffish at first, kind of slow to open up but once he does, he took care of the heroine in the way that she deserved and needed. i have to be honest though, if i had learned about who he was from the previous books, i might not have picked up his book at all. however, he showed great remorse and motivation to change. which is great. we love a character growth.
and the romance? god. swoon. both mcs were friends mostly. but that slow progression from friends to lovers was just perfect. the way they cared each other, and that small realization creeping up at the back of their heads saying, “hey maybe i like this person more than i thought.”
