![]() ![]() So yeah, supernatural story with a nice dose of realism. I also felt the ending of the book was more true to life with the family dynamics which made it all the more satisfying. Despite Jae living in Germany (or not in Los Angeles, at least) she somehow managed to get the streets, neighborhoods, and settings correct. ![]() :) As for the relationship, I've been reading too many books on Attachment Theory and was musing if Jae was using some of her psychology background to form Laleh and Hope's character dynamics.anyway, it seemed to fit. I don't know, maybe Iranians and doctors are cringing somewhere. *Regarding realism, you could tell Jae did a good amount of research to get the medical and Persian aspects right.at least from someone on the outside. I think Laleh and Hope may be some of my favorite Jae characters yet, especially Laleh. I found the book to be more romantically explicit and intense than her previous works and it was really well done. However, one change, Jae lets Laleh and Hope get together somewhere in the middle of the book and keeps them together through to the end. In this genre known for insta-love I appreciate that. ![]() Per Jae's trademark, she makes her leads earn each other and it's a slow burn romance. Despite having a supernatural element, the story had more realism* than most and I was particularly satisfied with the last 1/3 of the book. This is a well-written romance with a unique twist. ![]()
