After surprising her boyfriend gives her the bigger shock, 25yo Paige is nearly run over in the grocery store parking lot. Life isn’t going very well. But then the driver who nearly killed her insists on buying her dinner -- maybe things will get better for Paige after all.
The story is cute, but I couldn’t decide whether or not I was enjoying it as I was reading. Sometimes the characters felt relatable and realistic, but then they would start to feel inauthentic and contrived, and the constant back and forth was distracting. In the end, I think Linton opted to write the characters idealistically instead of realistically, but I also decided it’s okay because sometimes that’s the point of a story.
