What’s it like to be in love? Since I’m the one asking the question, it’s probably obvious that I don’t know. Or didn’t. Until I met Lincoln, the ruggedly handsome bar owner who is kind and respectful and so unlike any of the guys I know in the city. When I visited Great Oaks, Montana for two weeks, it was to get away from men. Specifically the man I was dating for three months before he told me he was engaged. Then I ran into Lincoln and thought, why not have a little fun while I’m here? We can casually hook up until I head home. Except, Lincoln doesn’t do hookups. He’d rather be “just friends” to avoid either of us getting hurt. Until we agree to fake date for his family reunion and the lines between us get blurred. And Lincoln tells me he wants more. He wants all of me, including my heart. But that’s the one thing I don’t think I can give him.
I try to give all books the benefit of a doubt and not dnf any especially when I’ve literally started it already because I’m sure a lot of work and time was put into it, so the least I could personally do is just finish it.
I liked Lincoln cause he knew what he wanted from the start but that’s about it. Naomi, however, I had a hard time liking. The story felt very insta-love, which I don’t have a problem with at all cause I actually love that, but the writing itself seemed childish. It was very much like: I did this and that and this and I went to bed, the end, and cue next day. I didn’t really feel the connection between the characters at all. And the event that happened at the end felt unnecessary. It’s like it happened and then it’s done, all better, the end. Ugh. I don’t know, I feel like it could have had so much potential if it was written a little bit better.
