2.0

Katie’s relationship with her mother is extremely codependent and hard to read about. I was cringing the whole time I was listening to this. The descriptions of the food and views in Positano are nice, though a bit corny. I guess I just expected this to be a more lighthearted read about a second chance romance, but instead it felt heavier and I couldn’t connect with the main character.
Also there are so many plot holes surrounding the time travel of it all.
