Sounds very realistically done. And the characters sound very realistically as well, like you I like characters that aren't perfect. As those flaws and characteristics can make them feel more human and real. Oh and the mystery sounds very exciting!

The baggage line always reminds me of Rent, when Mimi sings to Roger that life's too short, time is flying, she's looking for someone who's baggage matches hers.

It always worries me when mental health is included in books but not explored in the way it should be. Such heavy themes should never be used as a plot device.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked this book, Lauren!Chiara @ Books for a Delicate Eternityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181153932836441611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886414732479211267.post-29663456142840430772017-02-13T11:37:14.595-05:002017-02-13T11:37:14.595-05:00This sounds like another good one!

I signed up to be an affiliate with an audiobook page, but I just don't know if I have the motivation to follow through with putting a line at the end of each post I link to it in. So not sure if I'll continue with it or not.Lisa Mandinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691593776280004137noreply@blogger.com
