A lot of momentum just right now but I don’t want to grasp on it because of how things have been in the past. I am counting pages till the end because I want it to be over, a book is not supposed to make me feel this way.

I don’t usually pause when the smut scenes come up but I was underwhelmed by this development. Why not give lucie a love triangle. Mhmm I expected one, there is no yearning, no misunderstandings and also no reason for them to not be together. Dialogues and confessions are too verbose, some things are better not said.

Page 187 calling her daughter’s body skinny. this seems an odd choice of words, could have use little or small but skinny.
Said in a seemingly loving context but does not seem like something that should be said.

If we are judging some more, lucie ideally should not have continued the call for the first time. Who continues call with an expected pedo? Odd conversations roll which could have been approached better.

The prettiest setting, this is wholesome yet funny and the alternating povs give an insight into each characters world, usually it is more female centered.

Oh my god, I thought the romantic interest calls the radio for her very old mother but it’s actually the daughter, a little girl calling for her mother (ie the romantic interest). I am positively surprised. Love this!
