This a run of the mill contemporary romance. Parts are dramatic. Parts are sweet. There is a very serious event that pulls the characters apart, forcing them to find their way back to each other. Some of the “surprise” reveals were a little predictable. Overall, this was an interesting story.
I did find the whole plot line of the child finding her bio family and lying to her mom to the degree she did to be a little unbelievable for a 10 year old. If she was 12, it would have been more plausible imo.
