It felt to me like it was more the contemporary genre than the romance genre and maybe because of this reason I wasn't really thrilled by it. That being said, besides that one event I just mentioned, nothing really happened in this book.

I mean, I can guarantee if that were me and my husband going through that exact scenario. I also didn't like the fact that it felt like the 'plot twist' of the story was at like the 85% mark and then solved so easily.

This is a nice story and I would recommend.more And I liked seeing them finally address issues that had been building. I liked seeing the couple reconnect during their time isolating with each other. I liked that the story didnРІР‚в„ўt focus too much on the pandemic though because it would have taken away from the overall story. That time feels so far away and also like it was yesterday. It was a bit strange to read a book that is mostly set during that first pandemic lock down. I liked that this story focused on a couple that is older and have grown children.
