ARC Review

Thank you to Tales and Teacups PR and Sorcha Reagh for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to like this book. By the end I was starting to buy in to the story but it took soo much to get me there.

First, Emma's backstory as a lawyer wasn't believable to me. It could be because I am an attorney in the United States but I didn't find it believable that she would do 5 internships before graduating. Also, that first assignment felt very farfetched (although I guess it could happen). 

Second, there were some tense issues. There were parts where I couldn't figure out if the story was meant to be the characters looking back on a past event or that the story was happening in real time with the characters. This brought me out too many times.
