“Assumptions make one as blind as the mole-shrew.”
This novel did NOT go where I thought it would. I was thinking: family friendly romance. I didn’t expect Rose to endear herself to me. I didn’t expect that I’d want to take Marissa by the shoulders and shake some sense into her. I didn’t expect Owen to remind me of a student I had, who had Asperger’s Syndrome.
The novel got me thinking about how busy we get with our own lives. How at times we close our eyes to what is right in front of us. That sometimes we simply need to look around, with an open heart. Reach out. Take a chance. Let go. Listen. Share. Love.
