3.5 stars rounded up!

"But if I had my time again, I would not have given up,� Granddad said. “I don’t believe that love is meant to be like an explosion. It is not meant to be dramatic, or ravenous, or any of the silly words ascribed by writers and musicians. But I do believe that when you know, you know. And I knew, and I let it go without any real sort of fight, and I will never forgive myself that.�


I've been wanting to pick this book up for months and I'm glad I finally did. I had different expectations for what it would be but that ultimately ended up not being a bad thing.

Sarah mets a man name Eddie. They have seven amazing days together and completely fall in love. Eddie needs to leave but they promise to come back together. Sarah tries to reach out to him multiple times but Eddie totally ignores and ghosts her. Sarah is totally devastated by this. Since she is so in love with him she starts to search for him - first by stalking social media. She tries messaging him over and over again with no answer. One day she gets a text from a random number "Stop trying to find Eddie." Was this from Eddie? Why is he not who he says he is? Sarah continues on the search until the truth unravels about both Sarah and Eddie and their love stories goes from perfect to twists and turns.

This book started off really slow for me. I also wanted to DNF because I wasn't really sure where it was going. I didn't know it it would just be some girl who got rejected because some guy is leading a double life and they just end up together. A lot of my fellow readers encouraged me to keep reading it as it picks up and that's exactly what happened. The second half of this book was full of some good twists and I sped through it.

I'm not really sure whether or not to classify this as a mystery or a romance so we'll just called it a Romance Mystery for now. If you are planning to read it I suggest you keep powering through past the first 100 pages. Overall it was a decent story but didn't completely WOW me.

Felicia Great and honest review, Meredith 💖 I think I'm gonna pass on this one.


Jennifer Trimble This book was a lot easier to get through as an audiobook. Even then I did have times where I wondered if the author was going to "get to the point".
