This book was quite an emotional rollercoaster! It had moments of sadness, joy, surprise, and suspense. Declan and Iris went through a range of highs and lows, with each event or decision having a direct impact on the plot and the characters' lives. This made for an unpredictable and exciting reading experience that kept me on the edge of my seat. It was captivating to see how the story unfolded and how the characters grew and changed along the way. I was truly invested in the characters and their journey and felt great satisfaction in the end. However, I would always end up being frustrated by Declan's actions, drastically impacting their relationship and leading to serious consequences. These consequences led to the slow-burning love story being unnecessarily extended, in my opinion. Despite this, the novel was still enjoyable, and I was able to appreciate the gradual development of the relationship between Declan and Iris. I also appreciated how well the author captured the emotions of the characters.
I'm giving this book a 4/5 since I believe the story could've been a bit more concise. Although I enjoyed this book, the situations were extensive at times. I guess the ending was worth the read since I eventually got what I wanted: a sweet, happy ending! I would recommend this book to people looking for a light and heartwarming story. Even though it was a bit long for my taste, I still appreciate the amount of effort the author put in to make it enjoyable. I'm glad I read this book, and I look forward to reading more of the author's work in the future.
