Elsie Maynard never expected to be starting again...
...but eighteen months on from the biggest challenge of her life, she is doing just that –because she made a promise to the person who believed in her the most. Determined to step into her uncertain future, Elsie meets handsome Oliver Hogarth, who seems intent on winning her heart; she inadvertently founds a choir, and overcomes obstacles – most of which involve arrogant Torin Stewart.
Then a heartfelt request brings her to Paris – and the final item on ‘The List’ that she never dared complete. Can Elsie follow her heart and put her past to rest?
I love Mirandas books but this one i just could not get into. I seemed to have to force myself to finish it, i was hoping it would get better as the story went on, but it didn't.
The story was about Elsie who is trying to rebuild her life after the loss of her husband. Nothing new there but Elsie is only in her twenties and never expected to be a widow so early in life. Through the rebuild process Elsie starts to step out of her comfort zone, she sets out to start a choir with legend rocker Woody.
She also has run ins with the lovely and very patient Olly and the ever annoying Torin. Both very different and gradually start to appear in Elsie's life. Elsie believes she is destined to be with Olly when she finally settle the past to rest. But Torin appears throughout and just annoys Elsie. He seems so full of himself, he is rude, but then so is Elsie towards him.
The story takes the choir to pairs something that is deeply marked in Elsie's heart. Here she finishes the last of the list that ties her to her husband.
My main issue was that the characters were hard to connect with. I didn't believe any of them realistic. The ending of this book annoyed me more. I just didn't agree with it and it seems so very out of the blue.
Sadly not my favourite Miranda book.
