Annie is a weak young-adult, bullied by her mother which is the origin of our tragedy. We’re told that they have arguments but we don’t see any until THE argument. We don’t really see the romance blossom and grow. Annie graduates college and stays the summer for an internship - but aside for one date, we’re just told they have a romance where they fall in love. During the novel, our main characters Annie and Shaun have a romance that starts off in what I assume is spring time. The timeline jumped around a bit too much in sporadic spurts, which had me flipping back a few pages to reorient myself in the story. The novel overall, felt like a first draft rather than a finished product. It was a short novel, and I think it could have benefitted from either becoming a shorter novella or expounded upon to be a little longer. It’s a cute story, focusing on young love, tragedy, and family connections.
