Colpa forse del caldo porco di questi giorni, non sono riuscita ad apprezzare Finché non sei arrivato tu... come di solito apprezzo i libri della Higgins (cioè con tante risate). Non che sia noioso, per carità, si ride e ci si svaga (che è più o meno tutto quello che i miei neuroni riescono a fare al di sopra di certe temperature e con un'afa in grado di stendere anche un cammello).

Non so esattamente cosa mi disturbi. La protagonista? La cugina? Liam Padre-Iperprotettivo-Isterico? Forse quest'ultimo vince su tutti. Liam sarà sexy, bello e perfetto quanto volete, ma quando parla – o anche solo pensa – alla figlia Nicole, mi fa venire l'orticaria. Il che accade con triste frequenza. Sarà che non sono abituata a un padre che minaccia qualunque essere di sesso maschile si avvicini a sua figlia...

Forse il mio problema è stato non trovarvi quell'atmosfera scanzonata che mi aspetto dalla Higgins. Un personaggio come Liam è troppo estremo per essere divertente, troppo grottesco perché mi porti oltre un sorriso stiracchiato. ( )

Kristan Higgins delivers all the feels. This is a Cinderella story of sorts, with a tough girl wrapped in a small package. Prince Charming is delightfully neurotic, which makes his "God's gift" status more palatable. I had trouble buying into the story in parts, but Kristan's writing always keeps you engaged while she draws well rounded characters that are your best friends before its over. Loved it. ( )

This book is probably pretty good! but it is read at the fastest pace I've experienced in 20 years of audiobooks!!! by Xe Sands. She's good but her pace works against a relaxing read! I barely picked up that the story is about Posey (Cordelia) and Liam ...

Finished this through the night. It had its charm and I particularly enjoyed the description of the obsessively protective father, a twist I hadn't heard before. The wicked humour saves this from being simply a sappy story. Despite explicit language, this book is not explicit, it's quite tame, ie not steamy. A little bit odd really.

In many ways that sums up the book - it had lots of potential to be much more engrossing and powerful because Cordelia and Liam are quite fresh strong characters, but the relationship is unrealised in terms of involving the reader.

I thought this was part of a series but doesn't look like it. I see that I have read one other Kristan Higgins which I gave a low score too - if I'd remembered that, I wouldn't have picked this to read, and would have missed something. ( )

A perfect beach read chosen fairly randomly from limited eBooks. ( )

A Recommended Read! Until There Was You is a charming romance and Kristan Higgins engages her readers with snappy dialogue, a wicked sense of humor and an unexpected poignancy that will capture your heart.
