The Paradise Guest House by Ellen Sussman

I want to write an astounding review for this book, and although I enjoyed reading it, I cannot find the words to write a review. After Jamie survives the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, she returns exactly 1year later for a survivors and widows ceremony. She falls in love and blah blah blah.... I'm sorry but that's all I got. It was well written - in places anyway. It was a beautiful idea and would have worked very well, if it didn't seem a bit.... Forced (?) in a way.
Reasoning behind my 4 stars?? It was well written and was an intriguing storyline. I like the fact it was showing that things traumatic as what happened stays with people and it does forge bonds and love and friendships. Something brilliant and exciting can happen after something so upsetting. I would love to read my stories like this.
