Just no words can describe how much I love this book!

My review

As my favourite genre to read are romantic stories, it sometimes happens that you have had enough of it all. Some stories are so alike, that you just can’t bother to read more.

But reading this story was like taking a breath of fresh air. But I have to admit, the first chapter was a eenie meenie difficult for me. That first chapter just didn’t appeal to me. But I have never been so happy to just keep reading.

This isn’t the typical romantic story where an actor falls in love with the local girl and after a few minor struggles they get their happily ever after.

You read it from 2 different point of views. To me, it felt like reading 2 stories at the same time.

Sarah, the local girl, is facing a lot of personal issues. So is her father being released from prison, is Sarah having problems with the character she needs to play in the local theatre and then there is Finn, the doctor she has been drooling over a year now…

And then there is Nate, the actor…

He’s facing a divorce after been cheated on several times, had a one night stand but the woman went to the papers. So he has the need to flee.

And where does he go? Right, in the small town where Sarah lives.

There are no instant sparks, they just meet randomly and that’s what so refreshing. And when they meet, there is no instant falling in love. And even when deeper feelings are rising, they are both trying to fight it, sensing it’s not the right time.

Katie Ginger wrote an amazing story about facing your own demons and by sheer coincidence also a love story takes place. The love takes a supporting role during the whole book, until the last few chapters.

Once you are in the story, you just keep on going. I had a few laughs during the story, some cheering moments, but also sad frowns. The difficulties both characters were facing, were heart breaking and also recognizable on some level.

You just want both of them to be happy and find a way to solve all their problems and starting to live their lives full of happiness and love!
