Adelaide is a twenty something American who studied abroad in London during college and has stayed there as she begins her career.  She has a big heart and goes above and beyond, making personal sacrifices to make the people in her life feel special.    With her professional life starting out on the right track, she hopes her personal life will fall into place as well.  

Despite its beautiful, floral cover, that might lead you to believe this book is a romance, it is actually quite a heavy read.  This book is not all sunshine and rainbows, but the author kept my attention by building tension and not glossing over Adelaide's situation.   It addresses serious issues such as sexual assault, mental illness, suicide, miscarriage and more, making this book depressing to read in the middle, but the author does a good job of building the characters and helping the reader understand why Adelaide allows the undeserved negative treatment she receives from others.  I am glad I pushed through the tough times with Adelaide to get to the end of the book.  

Thanks to the Macmillan Audio Influencer Program for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!

I almost didn’t rate this because it feels like eating someone’s traumas. Take that info for your decision to read (or not)!
