I was pretty surprised as I got deeper into this book - this author is more well known for her detective fiction at this point, so I wasn't sure what to expect from her for what seemed to be a pure love story (but with Chinese blurbs you never know...). I ended up really enjoying it despite it feeling like it may have jumped the shark about three quarters of the way through (stick with it, it doesn't, it all makes sense in the end). That said, I enjoyed it, it's a sweet story, but the characters aren't really believable. And while she does a decent job developing the female lead, somehow the male lead seems to be the exact same type, exact same character as 他来了,请闭眼 and 如果蜗牛有爱情. Weird, and disappointing.
This book is also in the same story arch as 你和我的倾城时光 - it's the same family. This story bookends the storyline in 你和我的倾城时光.
