liked it

For a debut novel, it's fine. The premise of the story was good, but I couldn't really connect with James and Sophie. He didn't want love again, (I liked that he recognized that he was very wrong with Cassandra and that made him vulnerable, and also later we know about his mother's attitude) but he changed his mind very quickly in wanting to marry Sophie when he passed a good time saying he didn't want to marry her. Even though he said the marriage would help both of them, I thought he could have just said he was an idiot and loved her but was afraid of getting burned again. She, in turn, was always in love with him (the exchange of barbs was funny), but she protested too much when he asked her to marry him and then she wanted to break up (I know it was because of the "agreement" with Fitzgerald, but frankly. ..what a meaningless bargain!)

To summarize:: "I love you, but I can't marry you because you don't love me"

...And

"I want to marry you, but I don't want to fall in love with you because I'm afraid of hurting you and getting hurt again"

But I liked the epilogue, it was pretty sweet. And like I said, it's a debut novel and the author did well and I'm sure it will get better and better. I'll be waiting for the next book about Olivia and Griffin.

PS: Is it too much to ask, Mrs. Sinclair, that you write a book telling the story of Fitzgerald?

I received an advance review copy for free by Booksirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
