Fragile Longing by Cora Reilly
2.0

It took a while for me to read this one Bc I didn’t like this a
20 something year old man being engaged to an 11 year old girl. But I love this author and read everything of hers.

She got Sofia’s emotions and feelings down great. The shadow of her sister’s memory. Watching her mature through her own eyes was a cool feature.

Danilo, Angst had a good Build up in the first part of the book. The “Sex with blondes as revenge” was stretched pretty far. I could believe for maybe 2 years after Fina left but 7?? Mmm I’d say homie had a huge thing for blondes.

The first part of the book was laid out well of Sofia and Danilo. The struggle, immaturity, growing up, etc. Even their wedding night, I could see that happening. But it kinda fell off after that. Danilo, is a sweet and kind husband not scary or intimidating at all. In reality, that’s cool…. But in this Mafia world… meh. He became a dry character to me. We knew a little of his Brutality in the beginning and a little of how he ran things but that’s about it.

I hate to say it but when Fina and Sofia meet, and we got a hint of Remo, I was a bit eager, hoping for shit to go down. But … it just doesn’t.

Overall, It was okay. The friendship between Anna and Sofia was a great bonus. Am looking forward to whenever she writes Anna’s story.
