This year, I have been reading a LOT of romance novels. It is a genre I don't have a lot of experience with, so one of my reading goals for the year was to try to explore the genre a bit more.
This novel was such a lovely romance. I found myself cheering for the main character constantly and wanted so badly for her to come out on top.
I think my only complaint about How to Walk Away is that I would have liked to get to know some of the side characters a bit better. In particular, Margaret's Dad, Ian and Kit's boyfriend. I would have loved to see more of their personality. Those three men seemed to be sort of glossed over, in spite of being vital to the story. I would also love to see an entire novel about Kit and her story. She would be such a fun character to read more about!
I liked reading about a character with fears that play such a major part in the story rather than what is becoming the typical fearless woman. It was nice to see someone with such a human fear/flaw. While I do appreciate reading about strong women, this book shows that you can have fears and flaws and still be a strong woman.
Overall I enjoyed this story. It is definitely a book I would pull out again on a cold rainy day, or any day I'm craving something light and cozy.
