I think sometimes it is just the willingness of the reader to let all these circumstances happen and go along for the ride. I decided to go with the flow and mainly enjoyed the read.

But most of all it’s a second chance at love, happiness and life! Favorite Quote: “I’d joked about Charlotte Darling and her pixie dust. There was always something magical about her”

Luca is a writer of many famous novels and later in the book, when he wants to read her books, the conversation goes like this: At times, Reed could be a condescending asshole, but deep down he cared more than what he let others see. It’s quite entertaining to see him flustered by Charlotte “craziness”.When love is not returned, you have to learn to unlove the other person.
