But during the second half, I chose to read to finish it faster.
I liked Stella’s hobby (reading old diaries) and business (create your own scent)! The romance was instalove.

Even when they only had little interactions. When you put them together, it would look like weeks instead of years.
Bridget’s friends didn’t have any personality… maybe because I didn’t read the first book and I didn’t get to know them? Who’s who? I can’t root for them and be excited for their own story! Scenes with them felt fillers.
I also didn’t get anything from Bridget’s family. I know she loved them. But I didn’t really cared about their relationship because I didn’t get to read it.
Most of the book was more telling than showing, unfortunately.
GOOD NOTES:
I found myself smiling when Rhys did something sweet… - Makeshift concert in the living room where he set up a tent and bought food and things for Bridget - When he ticked off Bridget’s bucket list.
I liked their camaraderie.
(Second half) I liked it! I found myself smiling while reading. So all in all, no regrets for my first book of the year!...more

“Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it—made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand.”
“If all experienced God in the same way and returned Him an identical worship, the song of the Church triumphant would have no symphony, it would be like an orchestra in which all the instruments played the same note.”
