Spoiler It seems like the author wrote this book never having known what it's like to love someone for most of your life or never having lost a spouse in death. The story started out well enough, but the characters and their actions just don't make sense half the time. A well traveled artist falls unconditionally for a small town cafe owner? Aimee refuses to move on romantically yet has the drive to start her business as an omage to James? That should've given her enough closure regardless whether she felt he was still alive or not. Alive or dead, James was gone and if he were alive, that should have left her angry. The whole amnesia thing was eye roll worthy. And the epilogue at the end made me super angry. It just wasn't necessary. His poor children. Aimee was so selfish too. I gave it 2 instead of 1 star because the author was able to peek my interest and wrote rather well regardless.
