I enjoyed The Heart Wants written by Krystina Rivers. The story follows Reagan and Sydney through their past and present.
The structure and pacing of the story felt off. I liked the idea of having different part for different moments in their relationship but it made it feel long and for 50+ pages I was wishing that we would get to the present day.
The plot was readable and bingable.
I enjoyed the sapphic representation, especially within the military.
The characters were lovable. I was routing for them and felt for Alice. This shows that the writing is able to bring out emotion.
The plot was easy and simple which made the read bingable. The Writing style was simple which is perfect for a romance.
The setting was nice, having their lives set in Naples, Munich airport, Boston and DC brought variation. I did feel that the stereotypes of European cities were slightly off. Italians aremt famous for their croissants that's France. It was obvious that the novel was written by a non-european author, however it didn't affect my enjoyment.
The ending felt slightly rushed compared to the rest of the novel. I wish we had more closure and more them when they actually had made a commitment to one an other.
Overall I would recommend this, as a easy romance read.
