The conversation around this book
What people talk about
These themes can help you judge the fit. They are not a rating or a promise that everyone will have the same experience.
What tends to work
Complex Characters
Caroline used Abby as a pawn in the divorce case, which was iffy but addressed within the story when Hannah confronted her, making it an acceptable character flaw.
Explicit Heat
There is good heat between the two leads when the time comes, with consensual and mildly explicit sex.
Slow Build Heat
The build-up to the romance is engaging and the teasing is done really well with a worthwhile payoff.
Strong Prose
The stylistic choice of placing events relative to holidays rather than temporal markers created an airy, meandering feeling through disconnected vignettes.
Emotional Intimacy
Cass weaves excellent intimacy between Caroline and Hannah, making their scenes enjoyable.
