I loved this book. I almost skipped over it but a friend wrote a review that sold it. Oscar was a mess and so much of it was self-inflicted. Although this was a fairly short book, it had all the feels. Sure it was a little Pollyanna but I needed that this morning. ( )

Don't give up on this book. I'm in no way condoning internet trolls but this is worth persevering with.

Oscar is the most vile character at the start of this book. How on earth could the author redeem him in the eyes of the audience?
Well, she managed it and without him having a complete character transplant. He ends the bonus story still gruff and somewhat acerbic but with softer edges and much less self-revulsion.
Noah is sweetheart, maybe a little too perfect but it is Oscar that stole my heart and made me cry.

The main story ends quite abruptly after the major conflict but in the audio there's a lovely hour long bonus story of Noah and Oscar's wedding.
Talking of audio, the (new to me) narrator does a good job. ( )
