Description

A lifelong bookworm, she aims to provide readers with literary inspiration in the form of book reviews, reading lists and more. I was addicted to this story, I truly loved all the characters - literally the whole kit and caboodle!

This one is not bad, just pretty average, and that sucks when you’re used to giving at least four stars and, most of the time, five. The relationships are portrayed with compassion and honesty, and the author’s note at the end that explains Hoover’s personal connection to the subject matter is a must-read.There’s a warmth to her writing that means even her most devastating work—and there’s a considerable emotional toll here—is totally unputdownable. When Wren meets racing car engineer Anders, a ‘will they, won’t they’ relationship develops but with Anders still grieving over his wife’s accident four years ago, can she break down his barriers to love again? The way she acts is so flat, the way she feels about things is so predictable and her way of making conversation is to just grill people.

While the story comes down clearly on the side of all-encompassing love, Mallery has struck a careful balance: There is just enough sex to be spicy, just enough swearing to be naughty, and just enough heartbreak to avoid being cloying.Diary entries fancifully addressed to TV host Ellen DeGeneres serve as flashbacks to Lily’s teenage years, when she met her first love, Atlas Corrigan, a homeless boy she found squatting in a neighbor’s house.

I teetered between 3-4 stars for the first 50% but when I got to 50% and literally nothing was going on between the two main characters I quickly realized how much I didn’t like this book. She has published fifteen novels, a three-part spin-off series for young adults, and a collection of short stories. Wren (Aka Little Bird) thought her life was all mapped out, a fiancé that is dependable and as an architect she loves her job. She's nervous about the trip, as she's spent very little time with her father and his new family since her parents divorced when she was six. The moral dilemma Wren and Anders both face but from different perspectives, makes for a thought-provoking debate for reading groups.Jonas literally says “lights on no one’s home” about Anders wife and were just supposed to be like oh nice just cause Anders is in love we can just say mean shit about a person who was in a terrible accident? Despite the better option right in front of her, an unexpected complication forces Lily to cut ties with Atlas, confront Ryle, and try to end the cycle of abuse before it’s too late.

Paige hits that perfect balance between heartwarming and bittersweet to create a story that will stay with you.

Anders’ big secret doesn’t come into the story until two-thirds of the way through, complicating things but without much time for characters to explore or truly reflect on it. Instead this book reads like it was written by someone who has never interacted with another human in their life. And Ashley is a young, very-much-in-love bakery owner specializing in muffins who devotes herself to giving back to the community through a nonprofit that helps community members develop skills and find jobs.
