I loved this book. Set in Cornwall during a beautiful time period, and as always theres that little spark between two childhood best friends. Certainly the book didn't shy away from the harder aspects of life, such as suffering, grief and death. It renders Alexa's various relationships truthfully, building up that connection between her and the readers that the book relies on when times get harder for her. Don't worry, I won't spoil anything. But I will say that for all this, this promising start, I was also a little disappointed. By about halfway I was getting frustrating with the character, thinking that the book was dragging on for a bit all because of the main characters stupidity and blindness, and the ending didn't please me one book. I ended up closing the book after the last page feeling irritated that I'd stuck with it all along just for it to end like that. That said, I'm sure there will be many people out there that love the ending just as much as I loved the beginning, and so I would still consider this book worth a read.
