This book was a hidden gem, and I am glad I got to read and judge it (at least in part).
The writing style was excellent, with no grammar or punctuation errors, and everything flowed seamlessly.
I appreciated that this book had a happy ending. By the way it ends, there will undoubtedly be another book, and I believe the author did an excellent job of ending the book on a cliffhanger.

I was not expecting such a heartfelt epilogue. I enjoyed the wedding and the fact that people were feeling happy and relaxed because of the lack of formal attire.
I rarely read about beach weddings, or weddings in general, but this one made me nostalgic for something I never experienced: the 1980s.
As I mentioned in another review, the pregnancy section did not appeal to me not because it was bad, but because of my personal beliefs. Nonetheless, I can look past it and acknowledge that the book was excellent.
I liked how the author added some tension and plot twists.

Great prologue, but since I did not read the rest of the story, it did not have the same effect on me.
The plot was excellent, and it felt like the book had an open ending - as if the author could continue it. It had descriptive images and proper grammar. Overall, the flow was satisfactory.
The descriptions with the red thread were particularly nice.
