I want to start off by saying that I'm a HUGE Jessica Park fan. So if you're looking for a feel good romance to curl up with or if you just are in an emotional mood and need to cry and then come out feeling better regardless this is a good choice.Īpparently, I'm the only one who doesn't love this book. Also the last scene was a little too saccharine for me but it was nice how everything circled back around in the end. I did cry a lot reading this though but I do tend to get ten times more emotional when reading, and I'm pretty emotional to begin with. Sometimes you just need a feel good story where the character grows and learns to live a more open and vulnerable life style because all of us could use a little help with that. The romance was sweet and things unfolded slowly and watching Allison grow as a person was really heartening. Granted at times it can be cheesy and sentimental, all of that still seemed to work for me.
I would have given this 4.5 stars if we had 1/2 stars but we don't so now I'm just being petty and rounding down but that's because of goodreads and has nothing to do with this book.
