    • 4/5
      Really enjoyed with a twist to the end
    • 3/5
      Alright story, very predictable and way to many coincidences which make it hard to believe it’s true. Nice romance all in all though
    • 4/5
      Firstly, I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway, so let's just get that bit out of the way first!

      I haven't actually read anything by Adele Parks before, but was intrigued by the blurb and so wanted to give this one a try.

      I thought it was a very interesting book, and touches on some very universal themes (family, marriage, etc). I liked the way that Jo and Dean come together and I found their exchanges very believable, even if I didn't always necessarily like the characters.

      I have to say, it did take me a while to get into this book, but once I did it definitely kept me reading. I found myself racing through the final chapters wanting to know how it would end.

      I'd definitely recommend this book, and I may well take a look at some of Adele Parks' other works as a result too.
