I loooved this book to pieces up until the 80% mark.

This is one of these books that you need to go into completely blind.

Remembering Ivy started out perfectly- there’s romance, mystery and 2 very likeable characters.
The reader is left with the question- who is William Cole? How does he know what he knows?
And especially this mystery is what I loved about this story.

Unfortunately the answer to these questions was like a huge cool down after a great build up- so not what I expected and sorry if I say this, but it was somewhat ‚meh‘ and yeah, I didn’t like it.
I also found the end was way too rushed- quite disappointing after how perfect everything felt up until 80%.

3 stars- I would have loved to give 5 if it were for a different turn of the story.

How was this possible? It was like he could see into my past—like he’d reached into my memories and pulled out the meaningful moments. Painted them."

Dilek VT I am intrigued by the blurb and your quotation. Are you enjoying it so far, dear?

Tigerkitten I love it, thus far <3

The perfect combination of a great, humble and sweet H with just the right touch of Romance and some Mystery.

Reading Butterflies, sweetheart ;)

Hope it can keep me as impressed until the very end as I am with it being halfway through.

Tigerkitten Yay! Finally not a total bummer of a book for you.

I liked it, too- loved most parts of it, even...

Yes, it was like a breath of fresh air after so many similar ordinary books... I wish I could have given it 5 stars, though but I needed something more for it...

I am still going to read "His Heart" at some time. I really do like Claire Kingsley but not so much this book. Have either of you read yet or plan to.
