I tried to like these books, I really did. even after reading all the other reviews after I finished the first book, I still pressed on to read the second. Sigh. I love reading all things Irish, and the descriptions are on spot in the books, but that's about all I enjoyed. Instead of a cute, clean romance, the books read as an angsty diary of a forlorn person who wants to love but is just torn apart by everything in their life. I mean, the entire book! There is no real dialog in the book. Conversations here & there, but mostly just reading about the inner thoughts of an overly, anxious main character. Plus, there was no real interconnection between the first book and second, even with the same characters involved. I was a little confused with Niamh's gift shop from the first book, but described as a café in the second.
Overall, if you want to just read anxiety driven thoughts with very descriptive surroundings, this is it.
