    About this ebook

    Sarah Soon may have recovered from cancer—in body—but her brush with mortality has left the usually confident OB/GYN shaken about her future and herself. When she unexpectedly runs into Jake Li, her brother’s annoying high school BFF who betrayed her trust, he’s the last person she wants to see. She doesn’t need the now-disturbingly hot social worker hanging around while she sorts herself out, yet suddenly he’s inescapable.

    Everyone’s telling the newly divorced Jake that he shouldn’t be looking for a serious relationship already, but he’s always been helplessly drawn to Sarah’s vivaciousness. Can he show her that he’s all grown up now and worthy of her trust and a second chance?

    Or will they make a clean break once and for all?

      Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. I really did not enjoy this as a romance book. I did like Jake, and could not understand why he continued his pursuit of Sarah who continued her grudge with him, it happened in the past get over it. I understand that Sarah went thru an ordeal, but she was not a happy person, so I could not connect with her. I honestly felt he could have done better.

      I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.Sarah, who has just been given the all-clear after treatment for melanoma, runs into a childhood friend, Jake, who has just got divorced. Jake had a crush on Sarah when they were teenagers, but she has never forgiven him for not standing up for her after she was discovered making out with a boy. Sarah's parents stopped speaking to her, Jake's minister-father made a moral example of her, and she left home, became a doctor, and now has only limited contact with her family.What I liked:-Jake: he was decent, humorous, kind and honest.- The exploration of Chinese/Taiwanese family dynamics and the portrayal of the changing relationships children have with their ageing parents.- The "fight" scene in Sarah's kitchen.What I didn't like:- Sarah: she was grumpy, inconsistent, self-centred and just a bit of a downer all round.- The "plot": Jake got a dog, Jake's dad came to visit, Sarah's family came to visit and that was about it.Overall I enjoyed it, but I think Jake deserved some one nicer!
