Elisabeth McMichael

man. i knew in advance i needed to suspend disbelief for this novel yet still i was unprepared for how ridiculous it got. i really enjoyed it (mostly because it is ridiculous and outdated and mostly incorrect and every character/plot line came full circle at the end (classic dan brown)) until the climax and ending where i had to roll my eyes at every new chapter. i mean come on. you’re telling me these are some of the most intelligent people in the country and they couldn’t solve that man’s riddle?? it was SO OBVIOUS. whatever. i’ll probably still read another dan brown book after this and roll my eyes some more.

This was a cute and fun read that I devoured in about a day. I'm really picky with my romances and I often don't finish the ones I pick up. About halfway through is where this book really charmed me. I loved Will and the supporting characters a lot, but I feel like Anna's character fell a little flat for me. Part of this book was about her finding herself after her divorce--and she definitely did that--but I felt that she could have had a few more unique characteristics considering every other person in the novel was very distinct. She was just kind of there to me. Regardless, I rooted for her the whole time and was satisfied with the ending.
