The first half of this book is full of recriminations, accusations, remorse and guilt. I like angst but this was more than I like. Seraphina and Brahms were childhood friends. After a tragic plane crash that took the life of Seraphina’s siblings and made her father wheelchair-bound, Brahms was her succor. They clung together and fell in love, until something happened that destroyed what they had and turned into hate for her, guilt for him.
Brahms fell into a downward spiral, had several death-defying accidents, and the last one was severe enough that his family got him into Seraphina’s Rehabilitation Therapy clinic. She hates Brahms but she’s about to lose her business so she had no other choice.
Brahms was full of love and guilt towards Seraphina. She was full of vitriol, she was hateful and vindictive. It was not happy reading for the first half of the book. Things began to change halfway into a more positive outlook, where forgiveness was beginning to sound possible. I had an inkling there was a rat in the works, but the reader is kept in total darkness until about 80% of the story.
The pace is slow and we are waiting for the truth to come out and for the main characters to achieve forgiveness and start dealing with their trauma. The story is told in present and past scenes but the transitions were not very smooth, and to be truthful, did not shed a lot of light on their issues.
When the truth comes out, it’s like a 180º turn, we are all happy and cuddly, cheesy and steamy. I liked Brahms, found him generous and full of love and kindness. His addictions were a direct result of his sadness and guilt. His brothers, who are present in support of their stricken brother, are also nice with various interesting personalities. I didn’t like Seraphina because she’s stuck on her hate and doesn’t budge, not even to ask for information. She’s even snarky with her bestie and business partner Blythe!
