The story was a light read and a good length, I finished it in about a week but probably could have read it sooner if I didn’t put off finishing it so soon (not because I didn’t like it, I just tend to finish books really quickly and have nothing to read).
One thing that I loved about the book was how modern it was and, SPOILER ALERT, how the idea of Percy being with a woman was addressed within the story. I liked that there was no qualms and it was super honest – she didn’t see herself as gay, but did begin to worry that she might be what with being with a woman. It was handled really well and it was a nice change to see this idea approached in a typical chick-lit book.
I liked the ending, I thought it was simple, without dramatics and made a lot of sense. I also feel like the idea of Percy being so intrigued by her soulmate whilst already in a relationship will definitely divide people.
thinks for a long time. ‘I think it comes down to the amount of chatter
in your head. When a relationship is right – really right – you don’t
need to talk yourself into it. There’s no question or debate, it just…is. The
way I see it, if someone’s your soulmate then there’s this feeling of
inevitability, sort of like – “Oh, there you are, I’ve been waiting for
you”, and that’s the end of that.’
It definitely got me thinking. If I were in Percy’s position, would I do the same?
I really don’t know. If I knew the relationship I was in was wrong, I would probably be quite likely to. But at the same time, I think the idea of being set up with your soulmate is kind of wrong and that you should meet them in natural circumstances.
All in all, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it for a holiday read this summer – however, having read it once and knowing the outcome, I can’t say it’s a book I’d likely be to pick up and read over and over again.
