My Thoughts
 |
Though I’m not normally a fan of romance, I was instantly in love with Mia and Ollie, and awestruck by their apparent love for, and dedication to, each other. Once I started reading Limerence, I couldn't stop. It is full of tension, suspense, and yes, even heartbreak.
I really liked the alternating points of view; it worked so well with this story. It allowed me to really sink my teeth into the characters, and extract the essence of who they truly are.
What a great first novel for author Claire C Riley! She is clearly talented, and her ability to weave a captivating story is evident.
