I have mixed feelings when it comes to this book. In the end, I did really enjoy this book and the romance. However, I was not excited to pick it up and I just didn't feel as connected to the characters as I wanted. There was a lot of character growth, which was done well. I also did enjoy the second chance romance, a trope that I am not normally a fan of, as I could buy into their relationship working the second time around. My problem came from the other things going on around their relationship. The additional guy in the story made me question Genevieve a little in terms of her changing, and there is a policeman storyline that I feel is introduced at the start but then disappears to come back again and I don't know if it was fleshed out enough. Overall, it was an OK read and I am glad I finally got it off of my TBR.
