This book gives the impression of being a simple romance between Nikki and Mal, but it is more than that. It is a book about pursuing your dreams, it is a book about family relationships, and it is a book about taking a chance.
Nikki and Mal's growing relationship feel real and in one which you want to root for and hope for a happy ending. However, for me it was the relationship that Nikki has with her mother which was the most interesting and engaging. It is clear that this is not an easy relationship, where both sides have made judgements. It shows how part of growing up involves coming to understand that their parents have lived a life before coming parents and have their own baggage and issues. I wish it had been explored in more depth.
The ending of the story is one which will leave you satisfied, which will leave you wondering what will happen next and without being cliched. A smart modern romance.
