Eu gostei dessa leitura. Foi um livro bem calmo, um romance que você já sabe que tem um final feliz, então não causa muita ansiedade no leitor. Porém - e eu quase desisti de fazer uma resenha por isso - é um livro não muito marcante. Eu nem mesmo marquei nenhum trecho durante a leitura.

No livro acompanhamos a Cecilia que na sua busca infrutífera pelo irmão, Thomas, acaba mentindo e dizendo que se casou com o melhor amigo dele para poder ajudá-lo enquanto está desacordado no hospital. Porém, quando ele acorda sem nenhuma memória dos últimos três meses, ela mantêm a mentira. Esse plot inicial me chamou muita a atenção, mas a medida que lia, acabei dividida entre sentimentos. Eu entendia os motivos da Cecília, mas tive muita pena de como ela enganou o Edward, que era um cara absolutamente decente. Durante boa parte da leitura, fiquei pensando que a personagem podia ter agido de outras formas, sem mentir por tanto tempo, e teria o mesmo resultado no final.

Mas, enfim. Não é uma leitura que vou me lembrar para sempre, porém serviu ao seu propósito - me distrair.

The book began and ended well. I felt like the deception dragged on too long or possibly that it was too frequently fretted over by Cecilia.

Edward racing to the ship was sweet, and the introduction to the family as well.
