I listened to this book as an audiobook via borrowbox from the library and I thought the narraters were great.

I am taking part in a Reading Challenge this year and I chose this one for 'Read a book with a song lyric as the title'. This is the title of a song by many I'm sure but my connection is one by Oliver Tree and Robin Schulz.

I enjoyed this book, I like a book that is about two different peopke, living two different lives but potentially meeting at some point in their lives.

This book is romantic but also feels real and relatable because life isnt always easy. I like a mixture of books like this and ones that have some unrealistic aspects so I can escape.

This was both sad and happy and as I said above feels real. I love Serendipitous meetings and this is exactly that. They are meant to be as it suggests in the blurb and I hoped all the way through that they might meet.

Just not a book for me, I think. It took me a long time to get through, and I almost put it down at multiple points, but I liked it just enough to keep reading. It's not bad by any means, it's just not my kind of book.

At times, I felt like the building romance between the two characters was enticing, but most of the time they just felt SO far away from each other. I thought there would be on and off interaction through the book, but it's more that there's many missed moments. This really made the romance element hard to get into.

However, I liked just getting to follow the character's stories. That was my favorite part - I think each MC and the side characters have compelling stories on their own, and it was fun to see snipets of their lives as they grew up.
