The Possibility of Somewhere by Julia Day

3.0

I will organize this into something more fleshed out and coherent. But quickly after finishing this book:

Hmm. I have a lot of mixed feelings on this. Pacing of the story felt very rushed but I was able to get into the flow of it, and thought it matched the energy of Eden and Ash pretty well. I actually really liked their connection once it got going. They had some great dialogue and I'm always up for an enemies romance, especially one with a Pride and Prejudice feel to it. But around 3/4 of the way through the romance lost it for me and I was never able to capture the thread of the relationship again. Honestly, I ended up disliking Ash a great deal and feeling disappointed in Eden for the way she mooned over him for so long, and the end of this book didn't reverse that for me. I needed a much bigger gesture from him, as always, Eden was the one to take the risk. I also hated Eden's dad and feel very unsettled about how her situation with him just sort of faded out of focus without being fully addressed. I'm not sure what exactly this book is supposed to be saying about that, but it just made me upset. However, I really liked Eden and how hard she worked despite everything stacked against her. And I enjoyed seeing Eden discover what she wanted to do in life and attack that goal. I especially liked watching how her relationship with Kurt affected her.

Love triangle factor: none
Cliffhanger scale: standalone
