The Review
The Title/Cover Draw:
- I got this book because it was the one I most wanted to read from Book of the Month.
What I liked:
- It cleverly showed past experiences between Minnie and Quinn. In some it was clear they crossed paths, and in others, not as apparent.
What I didn’t like:
- I found myself skimming some of the more descriptive parts.
What kept me reading:
- Minnie goes through a lot of decisions and life changes.
The Characters:
- How they all come together was really fun. I related with Minnie a lot because I have felt that I have been cursed too.
The Ending:
- Revealing, but I would have liked to know more about Quinn’s traumas.
Consider if you like:
- You like holiday stories with a little bit of realism.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Small Summary:
When Minnie meets Quinn at a NYE party, it’s clear that they’ve got nothing in common – except for the strange fact of their being born in the same place at the same time on New Year’s Eve. A crazy coincidence, but not a reason to pursue a friendship, and definitely not an excuse for Quinn to hope for something more.
He is a privileged party boy who believes the world is his for the taking. She is a hard-working realist, whose lack of confidence tends to hold her back.
Opposites don’t really attract…it’s not like this is a rom-com, right?
The clock strikes midnight, their moment passes, and another year begins. But if Quinn and Minnie are from different worlds, why do they keep bumping into each other? And why is it that each frustrating interaction somehow seems to push their lives in the right direction? Could it be that instead of clashing, their different outlooks might complement each other?
Perhaps now is the time for them to finally come together…
