💕 A delightfully sweet story of adventure and missed chances. I loved that we got to go from one city to the next, exploring the landscape and seeing the places from someone else’s eyes. Or perhaps, visiting it for our first time.
The fact that they kept missing their chances to reconnect with the band, though expected, was a lot of fun. And this story was all about having fun. Each time they got close, something unexpected would happen. And I was all for it.
The relationship between Del and Kieran was equally sweet. Kindred spirits as you say. They connected as friends, with common interests. And it blossomed from there. It’s a low angst tale with a plot twist. Perfect for a warm summer’s day by the pool.
