This just didn't work for me. I found very few sympathetic traits with the MC's.

This book was so disappointing. I don’t know how else to describe it. I was just so sad the whole time I was reading. I finished it but I really didn’t want to.

This book has a slow start that jumps years in the time line, and as you get further into the book you are grateful for it!
Bella gets pregnant by her high school boyfriend who then leaves her when he gets his ex girlfriend pregnant. At this time Bella is also pregnant with his baby. Bella moves away to avoid the small town stigma and has a little baby girl. Bella has a great support network and business to go along with it!
There is a HEA and a wonderful amount of middle story that I don’t want to give away, but I really enjoyed and would recommend this book!

This was very predictable, but a quick, easy read. Reread it for a challenge.

This was a very touching story that was hard to put down. My only issue with the book is I felt the story could have been carried out for another chapter or two so the ending was stronger. I thought the story ended itself with some unanswered questions.

I'm not a romance fan, which possibly biases my judgment somewhat. The writing was okay, though rather insipid. The plotting? Ridiculous. But it fulfilled a challenge I was doing so, okay.

Everything reads a little differently when you’re reading it at 3 AM. I’m not sure Full Circle would be a four star read in the daylight, but after 3 AM and a crappy new adult romance novel before it, this was so good.
I still had the anger from reading Falling Into Infinity in my head, and I happily noted every time this novel triumphed where Falling Into Infinity failed. For a romance novel, I liked that Full Circle was intensely a slow-burn story. This might drive some readers crazy, but as a heavy fanfiction writer I am so into it. I liked that it spent time on building Bella as a character and creating her world before it ever brought romance into the picture. I like how you saw her business grow. I like how you saw her and Rafael become partners and then close friends. I like how you could tell the entire time that these two people should be together.
At one point, the novel veers into soap opera territory, and I was so upset because it had been so good to that point. Of course, I shouldn’t have doubted Full Circle. They quickly and painlessly deal with it. Everyone in Full Circle behaves like a human. They act like real people and respond like real people, not romance novel characters. I also loved that Bella and Rafael were always equals on an equal level.
My biggest complaint of Full Circle is that I wish it was longer. I wish it lingered in certain plot points and character beats, but overall it was a great palate cleanser from Falling Into Infinity. Recommended if you need a good romance novel that won’t drive you insane with toxic tropes!

I liked it. And the ending was not what I expected. I like surprises. Good read.
