Just when I thought I'd figured out where this story was going, it took another twist. The romance between Derrick and Annie starts with an innocent meeting at The Coffee Shop due to a chance occurrence; Derrick's routine is altered, and he ends up somewhere he's never been before. The two begin their romance, and it's sweet and funny. Annie is a quirky, offbeat character. The banter between them feels natural and the romance sweet until Derrick wakes up and everything has changed.Although this story unravels at a leisurely pace, it was a page turner for me as I wanted to figure out just what the heck was going on. From a writing standpoint, I'm impressed with the level of intricacy on the author's part with weaving the story line in and out and jumping backward and forward in time.I really liked the character Annie's intelligence and wit, and it's interesting to wonder how circumstances and events can be shaped or altered by one simple change in one's actions, like taking that flight or missing it. Or maybe this book is about something else altogether?
