Hey! Here's my review.
A sweet new adult romance told in alternating POV between Alexia and Philip. Alexia tells her story in one chapter, then Philip retells the same story from his point in the next chapter. Their relationship begins with love at first sight and a very intense first week. They have more in common than they realise, but poor communication interferes and leads to misunderstandings. It is all worked out of course, with happy ever afters all around. I found the plot a bit predictable and guessed what was going on before it was explained. I would have been disappointed if it had turned out differently though.
I really liked that Alexia and Philip both had good relationships with their parents and were able to talk to them about everything. I liked that they didn't jump into bed straight away - well I guess they did actually jump into bed, but when they slept together they only slept. One of the main themes in this novel is organ donation. The story focusses on life a few years after an organ transplant. I didn't realise how careful you still need to be, even years after an organ transplant and how much it can impact on your life.
I listened to the audiobook edition, which I received free in exchange for an honest review. The narrator spoke clearly and had different voices for the different characters. She spoke at a good rate and I didn't need to speed it up.
