This is a sweet, heartwarming and predictable chic-lit, this is so easy to read. However, this doesn’t mean that Beth O’Leary cut corners, the characters are relatable, loveable and have strong arcs, the twists are drama-filled and somewhat surprising, and O’Leary is able to flawlessly touch on difficult subjects without bringing the story down.
Overall I really enjoyed this novel, it made me laugh, audibly gasp and smile from ear to ear. It was such a new and refreshing idea to most of the chic-lits I have previously read. I’d recommend this novel for someone who is looking for an easy read, enjoys chic-lits, and likes strong character-driven plots.
