Nora Roberts is a genius! She managed to create the perfect balance of all three categories. I loved the book, I couldn't put it down. I was able to visualize so many different parts of the story. The  strengthening  of the relationships between characters always kept me engaged. Plus there were many plot twists. ]]> 2017-03-12 19:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gculbreath/gtpuvtl063xh/wish/159522864 gculbreath https://padlet.com/gculbreath/gtpuvtl063xh/wish/159525171 This cover is a good representation of the book because on a balcony in New York City is where it all began.]]> 2017-03-12 20:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gculbreath/gtpuvtl063xh/wish/159525171 My response gculbreath https://padlet.com/gculbreath/gtpuvtl063xh/wish/159527944 I absolutely loved the book.

  • “Second chances are scarier than first chances, because the second time you know how much you’re risking.”  (67)
    • This quote is very true. When you're giving someone or something a second chance, the reasons the first chance didn't work out are always in the back of your mind. You're scared because those negatives have a possibility of happening again.

    • “I thought it was over, all I could think was I never told you I love you. What an idiot." (70)
    This quote reminds me to always cherish the ones you love. Tell them you love them after your conversations because you never know if it'll be your last. Say what you feel.

    • “I'm good at figuring out how things work, but I don't know how this happened.”  (88)
    I like this quote. Sometimes things happen that you just can't fathom. Those events usually are good and happen naturally. You can't overthink or complicate it, you just have to go with the flow.
