This is my second Rebecca Serle novel (after "In Five Years") and, from what I can tell, Rebecca loves a good twist.
Daphne, the main character, is passive in her love life and her professional life, letting fate take her where it may, This didn't bother me because Rebecca is a good writer and the explanation behind Dapne's detached, unambitious ways was very gratifying when we got it. I'm not going to spoil it for you and I really didn't see it coming, but I'd be interested to reread the first half of the novel a second time to see things from a new perspective.
This book is under 300 pages, so it's a great short read for your TBR.
Thank you to Simon & Schuster Canada and NetGalley for this eARC.
