It was the book I was waiting for. Sure, I love seduction and meet cute, but what happens when the couple has known each other for a long time, and they just sort of fell out of love–or, more precisely, when love isn’t enough anymore. It’s second chance, yes, but more importantly, it’s a couple fighting to find a way to reconcile real life and passion–the sick kids, the long hours of work, AND still find enough energy to take care of each other and show the other that they are the most important person in their life.
The characters were so compelling and relatable, and every situation infused with domesticity, that I felt I lived inside the book. Like the little sister, or the best friend, or the neighbor–the person who follows your love life but is out of it. It was a great experience.
And the reasons behind everybody’s actions were so logical for once. No artificial conflict, just emotions and reactions that anybody could experience. It made the story even more realistic.
But don’t think it’s just dull everyday life. There were so many feelings! It was a beautiful second chance romance.
