4.0

This book tells of a mother who has not gotten over the death of her teenage daughter and after 10 years she meets a child who looks just like her missing daughter. There are multiple POVs. I wish each chapter started with the name of the character that was speaking. I'm not a huge fan of romance novels and this book spent a lot of time developing a relationship.  The ending felt rush and predictable. It was entertaining read and I finished in one sitting.
