I really enjoyed this as a romance novel, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed about this type of book. The overall concept worked well with the genre and was invested in what was going on. The characters had that realism that I was looking for and was glad I read this. Kristen B. Cole has a great writing style and can’t wait for more.

2.5 ⭐️ rounded up

First of all thank you NetGalley and My Trope Productions LLC for an arc in exchange for my honest review!

I think my problem with this book was mainly the pacing. Everything happened way too quickly for my liking and characters (that weren’t well developed) appeared so quickly I had to re-read previous passages to simply place them.

My only other problem is how one-dimensional everyone except the FMC is? But even her, she’s not written like a middle-aged adult, more like a fifteen year old teen experiencing a crush for the first time. The bits with her mom were cute tho.

Finally, reaaaally don’t like the overdone trope of the evil other woman who’s out to get the FMC and is only in the story to be slut-shamed and cause a slight miscommunication between the two love interests.

I’m sure other people will like this book, this just wasn’t for me.

Antes que nada, feliz debut, Kristen.





Hadley es una compositora que decide poner su vida en pausa y mudarse a otro estado para poder ayudar a su mamá, quien ha sido diagnosticada con cáncer de mama. Como es muy buena en lo que hace, consigue trabajo de inmediato como profesora en una universidad, donde conocerá a un grupo de neurocientíficos con los que se llevará bien, y surgirá una amistad. Sin embargo, con uno de ellos en particular, Alex, saltarán chispas y la posibilidad de un romance.



Hubo algunas cosas que no me encantaron, como el hecho de que muchas situaciones sucedían entre capítulos y solo se mecuonaban de pasada. Por ejemplo, la cantidad de tiempo que Hadley y Alex pasan juntos; al omitirse esos detalles, parece que la relación surgió de la nada. Otra cosa es que hay actitudes por parte de ambos personajes que me parecieron algo cuestionables, aunque no graves. La razón por la que no le puse una calificación más alta fue por la parte final, en especial lo que sucedió durante la estadía de él en Suecia, y lo que hizo y no hizo. Me pareció muy inmaduro.
