Rezension von rita⭐️ 3.25 stars. I have really mixed feelings about this book — I enjoyed it in some ways, but at the same time, it felt a bit “meh” for me. It left me both torn and unexpectedly touched. Georgia felt so real to me. The way she carries this quiet fear of not being enough, her need for control, and her struggle with vulnerability — it all hit close to home. I saw so much of myself in her that it was honestly a little frustrated at times. Watching her internal conflict unfold felt like looking in a mirror, and that emotional connection is what kept me turning the pages. Eli, too, was very present in the story. I felt how deeply he loved her — the way he showed up, supported her, and understood her — and it wasn’t like he lacked depth. But still, I kept wishing for more of him. I didn’t necessarily need a full dual POV, but maybe just a glimpse into his heart — even one or two chapters — would’ve made me feel closer to him. As it stands, I got to know him through Georgia’s eyes, but not quite enough to feel connected to them as a couple. And I think that’s where part of my struggle lies. While I connected with both of them as individuals, I’m not sure I ever fully believed in them as a couple. Their dynamic didn’t sweep me up the way second chance romances often do. There wasn’t a big emotional moment when they got back together, and the resolution felt a little rushed. I wanted more tension, more build-up, more yearning. And maybe... a bit more grovel from him, considering their past. I know this was intentional — the story leans more into women’s fiction with romance, focusing on the FMC’s journey and internal conflict — and I respect that. But because of that focus, the romance didn’t feel as central or developed as I personally would have liked. That said, the emotional core of this book really stood out to me. I kept thinking, “being loved is being known” — and I think this book is exactly that. It’s about being fully seen, with all your fears and flaws, and still being loved through it. Georgia and Eli both grow in quiet ways, and while we don’t see his journey firsthand, we feel it. I really appreciated that. The writing style was okay — fast-paced, simple, with short chapters that made it a quick read — but it didn’t wow me. I’ve tried this author before (You, With a View) and DNF’d it around 70%, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But I definitely liked this one more, even if the writing still isn’t fully my style. Overall, I’m glad I read this. I saw myself in the characters, I loved the core message, and it made me feel — even if it also left me a bit unsatisfied. I just wish I’d felt more of their love as a couple, not just their individual growth. And it might not have swept me off my feet as a romance, but it left me reflecting on emotional growth and what it really means to be loved.
