I agree with the whole distance with the narration though but for some reason the whole story just made me feel happier. Kind of like a warm cup of tea.

Sweet little book is actually a very good description for it! Thank you 🙂

Hi Carol 🙂 Well, there wasn’t really anything that bad with the book to begin with. I just started reading it after a few not very good chick lit books, and when I saw yet another young woman talking to a guy who doesn’t want to listen to her, it felt too familiar, and I started having premonitions. But the book developed absolutely differently after that, so I’m very happy I picked it up.

I enjoyed it as a quietly touching read. And I appreciate your insight as to how book lovers might find it a bit of a treat, and find new reads through it.

At some point I wanted to read them all, but I quickly realised I won’t. I like the way you write!
