Looking for Signs of Light

I loved the use of light and signs in this book. Previously this was named Goodness and Light which seems more appropriate than the current title. The challenge I had with making this 5 stars was that the book didn't really start to look up until 60% through. I get that Elena’s healing should happen gradually, but she cried through most of the book. I also get that the subject matter is extremely tragic, but there has to be some balance, and for me there was just too much sadness. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the author's writing had me totally engaged, so I committed to finishing and I wasn't sorry I did. The last 40% of the book made up for the first 60. I would imagine many of those who lost loved ones in 9/11 feel similarly the pain described here. Glad these two, along with some help from their friends, were able to help each other heal, and of course get their HEA.

Although I am very late in getting this review out, my ARC copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

They met thirteen years ago when he gave her a crystal snowflake on the first Rememberance day. Now they meet again and he knows it's a good sign. She's not that optimistic.


This was a cute and sweet romantic story of (self)forgiveness, friendship, family and hope, yet it was completely ruined by an idiotic and extremely selfish heroine. Everything was about her, no one loved her, she was a black hole, she didn't deserve happiness...Boohoohoo.

Instead of romance we got drama, drama, drama.

What a pity.
