So this is part melodrama, part political thriller, and part low-angst second chance romance.

Have I lost my senses? Probably. I'm not sure what this book is though, so I mean, not really.

Anyway, the beginning of the book is swoony. So is the middle. I'm still working out how I feel about it as a romance because it is a strange one indeed. IT's one of those team-up, do everything for one another types. And it's a bit swoony. But also, that bit lacks tension and some of the external tension felt weirdly on-the-nose in this particular moment so I wasn't thrilled with that. It's not the book's fault.

I really don't know how to rate it, so I'm not going to. It was easy to read, be invested in, get a little wrung out from and yet did not hit that spot right now. None of this makes sense. Perhaps the highest praise is "yes, definitely I recommend if you are interested, and I'll be reading more from the author"

Also, have you seen this cover? (less) [edit]
