Now or Never has a great atmosphere, small town vibes, mostly good-natured characters, wholesome moments and a low-stake plot that doesn't lean too heavily on the drama and angst. However, this book is dated.

The characters are likeable, with warm, kind and good personalities, but they lack nuance, act predictably and aren't intriguing or memorable. The characters don't seem realistic. Even the antagonists are stereotypically bad.

The story might have predictable moments and unrealistic coincidences, but there are some aspects that caught me by surprise. The way the story was going, I expected Penny to be Josh and Maddie's daughter, but I'm glad that isn't the case. I expected Maddie and Josh to find their daughter and reunite with her. Instead, they make a poignant decision to let it be.

Ultimately, Now or Never offers a pleasant journey with cosy and charming vibes!

This is the first book I have read of Lynda Page and I don't think it will be the last. I wasn't sure when I started reading if it was going to be enjoyable or not and almost gave up with it in the early stages. However I'm glad I persevered as it was a thoroughly good read with an unexpected twist at the end Will be looking for more of Lynda Page.

Excellent

Yet another wonderful saga from a very talented author. I think I have now read all books written by Linda. What a treat.
