I loved this book from the first page. It immediately captured my heart and soul. I really connected with Maeve and the adventures of her life. It got a little dicey for me once Daniel got back into the picture, but even when I dreaded what might happen next I couldn’t stop reading. This story handled loss, the tenderness of old love, the exciting uncertainty of new love, and the idea of “what if” so we’ll. It’s a beautifully written book that I felt completely emerged in. Highly recommend to lovers of romance and sharks (I am both).… (mere)

Despite the lovely writing this story was completely repitivie for me - it basically spent the whole time talking about the following:

depression because of a rejection letter for a college course
depression about menopause
depression about not being close to daughter and asking her about her problems
depression about not being close to mum and not being able to tell her problems
lots of flogging of previous book, dissident daughter and future book the secret life of bees
lots of talk about feminism and female role models

I got bored pretty quickly listening to them moan… (mere)
