They say when you know, you know.
Jas is devastated as she prepares to attend her ex-boyfriend’s wedding in Singapore. Collecting the pieces of her broken heart, she sets out on a journey she never imagined taking.
Deb has always believed in being “single and never ready to mingle” and has never thought he would fall for a heartbroken woman.
Not a slow-burn romance, but a whirlwind of feelings rooted in heartbreak. A short love story packed with laughter and undeniable attraction.
Book Review
*I received a free copy of this book, but all opinions are entirely my own and honest.
I’d never heard of this author before until they kindly reached out to me on Instagram asking if I wanted to read their debut novella. I’m a sucker for a romance book and a novella so a combination of them immediately had me saying yes. And I’m so glad I did!
Due to the bookβs shorter length, the romance develops quite quickly and leans into the insta-love trope, which is not usually one of my favourites. However, in this case, it worked well within the context of the story. The main characters complemented each other perfectly, and I found myself invested in their journey from beginning to end. I was rooting for them throughout the entire book. The MMC was a true gentleman, providing the perfect balance to the heartbroken FMC. I also loved the FMCβs best friend, whose humour, loyalty, and unwavering support made her a standout secondary character.
I did notice a handful of grammatical and proofreading errors throughout the novel. As this is a self-published book, I wasn’t entirely surprised to come across a few errors, and they weren’t frequent enough to detract from my enjoyment of the story. However, they were noticeable at times, and I know some readers may find them more distracting than I did. Personally, I didn’t feel they took away from the overall reading experience, but I do think the book would have benefited from an additional round of proofreading before publication.
Overall, the novella was exactly the right length for the story it told. It felt well-rounded, with enough development to keep me invested without ever feeling rushed. The pacing struck the perfect balance, giving the characters and romance time to develop while still delivering the fast-paced, engaging reading experience I look for in a novella.
If youβre looking for a quick romance palate cleanser then Iβd definitely suggest giving this one a read. This proved to be a far more enjoyable read than I initially expected. After reading this, I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the author’s next release.
