I liked Sunny and Adam well enough, they’re genuinely kind people, but when characters have few apparent flaws to overcome, when they’re understanding to the point where it circumvents pretty much every possible conflict, there isn’t much of a character arc to invest in and really drive things forward.
I felt similarily about the romance, these are two nice people, they share some meals together, they work together, he’s great with her daughter, but I never felt that engaged with their developing relationship. Like Sunny and Adam themselves, I guess everything was all a little too nice and easy, he is from another state, so there was potential for that to be an issue but that barely materialized nor did any other reason for them to resist each other, and I like some resistance, some tension in my romance, whereas this one would work best for those craving almost no angst or hurdles for the couple.
There is a slim plot here, everyone working towards saving a senior living complex, an important goal yes, but since it’s a shared goal and Sunny and Adam are on the same page at every turn, it left me feeling like there wasn’t enough to the story.
It felt like this book focused more on minutia than anything else, detailed accounts of every photo taken, details on various craft projects, details about a wedding, a tour of the area, a craft fair, etc., these are not uninteresting things, but for me these details would have been more interesting had they been sparingly woven into a propulsive plot rather than seeming like filler for a book that didn’t have quite enough plot or character development. But if you’re in the mood for a quieter novel with an emphasis on extraneous stuff, this might be more up your alley than it was mine.… (más)
