You know what? I am a bit mad. It may not be the author's fault but more the publisher's
I wanted to like this book and in the beginning I did. It started out as the cute, light-hearted romance it was marketed as but it got rather sad and depressing towards the end. It may be that I am sensitive but it bothers me a lot when a book is praised as the perfect light-hearted summer read when it is not.
Also the plot and characters were kind of boring.
On a positive note, the writing style is great and very readable.
Conclusion: I thought I would like this more than 'People we meet on vacation' but I didn't :(
