This made me laugh because I am guilty of this habit. This made me ponder too. I do agree but what matters most is the awareness.
I appreciate your comment.

jennydelacruz wrote: 09 Jul 2020, 02:15 Your review is light and calming. I'm not into romance novels though, so I'm going to pass this one. Nevertheless, your review has a capturing and light vibe to it that a non-reader of romance like me might even consider taking a shot at this book.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thumbs up for that! :) This book sounds like it is not for me, though. I am not a big fan of fairytale endings... there's nothing bad about them but it is just often not realistic.

Anyway, thanks for a thorough review!

Sounds like the premise and characters are good. Too bad about it being so predictable. Thanks for your review.
We’re gonna need a bigger bookshelf.

“The swing in the story actually becomes a character as it witnesses most of the important events in Mae's life.”

I love this concept and can’t wait to give this one a try. Lovely review!

Sometimes it is nice not to be surprised by an ending though.
