Summary:
Jane Williams was
born with a mysterious and rare gift; she is able to see love. She always had
vision problems but shrugged it off as a medical condition. On her 29th
birthday, she receives a greeting card that tells her she must identify the six
types of love before she turns 30 or else she may not be able to experience
love. This romantic novel focuses on Jane’s one-year journey to find six
couples that exhibit the six types of love.
Pros:
·
The book immediately sucks you in with a
romantic prologue that leaves you wanting to know more.
·
Switching the focus between so many people
in Jane’s life and their romantic joys and failures kept the plot moving
briskly.
·
The novel has a unique plot, the gift of
seeing love.
·
Teaches the reader about the six types of
love.
Cons:
·
There were a few overused tropes that left
me rolling my eyes.
·
Some of the characters seemed to flat; had
the plot not shifted focus as often, the reader could have developed a better
connection to them.
Final
Thoughts:
The haunting
losses and joys the characters experience will stay with the reader for a
while. It will definitely cause a book hangover! It was a great, quick read
with some memorable quotes.
“Love does not die. It lives.”
