This One Moment by Stina Lindenblatt
4.0

I didn’t realize this was a New Adult book when I picked up this book and that’s not usually my kind of read - there’s nothing wrong with them per se but it isn’t my first choice. But I was intrigued enough to read it anyway and was pleasantly surprised.

There were a few things I didn’t like – I found the two main characters to be a little … free with who (and how many) they had sex with. Again, nothing wrong with it necessarily as long as everyone is on the same page, but it isn’t my cup of tea. But once they meet up again I liked the connection between the two and how they struggled to figure out where they needed to go from there. It was a tough choice for them and I think that it was handled very well. I also thought that the mystery over Hailey’s attack was done right and made a lot of sense in context.

I’ve got another Lindenblatt book on my TBR shelf and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing if she brings as good a read the second time around :)
