Review: Details matter
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 27, 2012
Between Feliz's review and Simsala's review (both on Goodreads), I really have nothing more to add. They summed it up perfectly, and the ending really did feel like "It's a Wonderful Life".I guess the one place I differ is that I didn't feel Chip's story was hanging, as Noah's hospital exchange with Sumner made it clear there is still work to be done there. I'm looking forward to the third book, and wondering how it will sell me on Lark and Sam as a couple. I loved Lark in this one and would love to see him happy with someone, but I'm not yet convinced that Sam wasn't being creepy, taking unfair advantage of a vulnerable patient. I'm willing to like him, I just need to be persuaded theirs can be a relationship of true equals.ETA: A little birdie dropped a hint that led me to reread a particular scene, and I'm feeling much better about Sam and Lark as a couple. Just one sentence changes my perception of them entirely and now I'm really looking forward to reading their story! I've also learned a valuable lesson: Eden Winters does not waste words, so it behooves me to pay attention to all the little details in her stories.
