I loved the family aspects of this story. So very real when thinking of how cultural differences can cause issues or even stop potential love from taking place. We sometimes look over our person due to what others think. Great story. Would have loved more to the ending just because I didn’t want the story to end.

This started off strong but pretty immediately fizzled for me.


CW's: cancer - the fmc receives a cancer diagnosis at the beginning of the book then there is a flash-forward to several months later where she is in remission, death of a parent from cancer

This had some hot love scenes, but otherwise I'm not sure that I agree with the premise that the main character, Elise, needed her love interest, Lucien to help her grow up and be responsible. She already was working on being a dependable adult when we met her at the beginning, and I don't buy that Elise needed correction.

this was................just not that good.
