My opinion:
The book cover is very nicely designed and I like it. Especially the individual details fit very well to the story. The writing style of Anna Salcedo is very pleasant to read. The author writes soulful, profound, but also funny. This is a great combination!
It was not so easy for me to get into Genesis at the beginning. She is very determined and goal-oriented, but also heady. Genesis worries about way too many unnecessary topics and slows herself down. It's especially bad in situations where she meets Will. He makes her nervous and there is a certain tension between them.
However, Will is friendly to everyone, but not to Genesis. So the cooperation between them is really difficult in the beginning. Even though I can understand Genesis' dislike for Will, it took me a little too long for her to give him a fair chance. Genesis is often so set on her own opinion that she misses a lot. I find that very unfortunate
I really like the plot itself, even if some parts are way too obvious. Here I would have liked more action and suspense.
Still, I liked it, especially when Genesis decides to give Will a chance and the two get closer.
As a couple, I like Will and Genesis very much! They support each other and slowly thaw out. In addition, I had the feeling that they develop further and become more open to other people. I liked that a lot!
The end was unfortunately a bit too rushed for me. I would have liked a few more pages.
Nevertheless, I found the end very fitting for Genesis and Will. Things don't always turn out the way you want them to, but there are other opportunities and you just have to believe in yourself and your partner. And I think that's a very nice thought.
My conclusion:
I liked the story very much, even if it was a bit too little for me in some places and I perceived Genesis as a bit difficult in the beginning. But together with Will I really like her and also enjoyed the plot.
