Okay, I knew it was romance so I was aware
about the “happily ever after” ending (which actually was very well played and was definitely the best part of the book). It was obvious, but yet I was attracted
by the idea on which the story was based. A woman whose husband was killed and
after two years is still grieving for his death decides to go and find the
persons who received his organs. Her life will change when she met the one who
received his heart.
There was really much potential in this idea to
put together a mature story, not just the usual predictable romance.
But then it happened: Zander, the male
protagonist, is super-rich and super-famous. He is totally completely in love.
But Sadie, the female character, is hesitant.
Beside all these clichés, which are indeed
annoying, what made me give just three stars to this book was the very very
very (very) slow rhythm. I had the constant feeling that the author was going
slow just to fill those pages, that there was too much drama just for the sake
of it. Things took forever to happen and when the novel came to an end I
realised it could have been much shorter. What about having something more
happening in the story at a faster pace with the same novel’s length?
As I said, there was so much potential to
create a compelling story, but it wasn’t exploited at all.
This is really a pity, because this is a well
written book and the characterisation of the protagonists is really well done,
but I spent most of the time on the book wondering when something would happen.
