I thought I had this book all figured out in the first 20 pages. Things seemed almost too obvious to me, so I kept reading assuming I would either be very surprised or not surprised at all. I'm happy to report most of my assumptions were wrong.
I thought this book would be about Clementine trying to find Iwan in her present, but it's really about change, growth, and the expectations you put on other people. Finding him wasn't the hard part, it was coming to terms with the seven years in between past and present Iwan. This is what kept me reading.
I didn't have any complaints about pacing while reading it, but in hindsight things feel very quick. The story has depth but overall it feels like not a lot happened. I'm sure this is because time is split between the past and the present.
I think this is one of my favorites of hers. Ashley Poston writes tender romantic comedies with complex feelings on grief and this is no exception. Fans of her other books will find this one just as good.
