Why am I passionate about this?
I am a voracious reader of romantic fiction, and Iām always drawn in by books where time plays an important role. I love it when the characters have limited time and are on a countdown, or time is stretched out between their interactions, or when one single moment changes the course of their lives so completely. It always adds so much conflict and drama to a plot, as if time is a character in itself: itās such a big thing in all our lives, but itās also, in some respects, completely arbitrary. I love all these books because time and timing have such a big impact on the characters.
Cressida's book list on romance books where time is important
Why did Cressida love this book?
I found this book so emotional: a book that deals with such difficult subjects and has heartbreak in it but is so uplifting, too.
Scarlet is killed in an accident and has to watch the people she loves deal with the aftermath. I thought Evieās grief was so real, and I was desperate for her to find happiness again after losing her best friend. I am always drawn to a love story that seems impossible, and this one had me on the edge of my seat as Nate is drawn to Evie, but their happy ever after seems so out of reach.
I cried a lot but finished it full of joy and with a renewed desire to live life to the fullest.
