The writing style of this book was inspired by the wit and elegance of Jane Austen with the emotional intensity and modern edge of Mercedes Ron.
Here's a glimpse of what awaits the reader:
Rynlee was radiant, composed, and razor-sharp-a quiet force of intellect and determination. Her path was set: earn a place at Oxford, graduate with distinction, and walk away unattached, all in pursuit of her late mother's unfulfilled dream of becoming a botanist.
That was the plan-until fate intervened.
Unanticipated figures from her past reemerged, bringing with them a tangle of truths, half-truths, and carefully constructed lies she had crafted to protect her heart. What began as a clear trajectory was soon rewritten by the gravity of emotion, memory, and longing. Rynlee's story is not just about reaching a destination-it's about confronting the detours that shape her along the way.
Presented below is a short excerpt from the book.Rynlee realized she had to explain herself. She began to tell Amy about her and Hugh's heated interactions, how she feared becoming like her mom-who had dropped out of school to become a mother-and how she needed to focus on her studies. She explained how she made a plan to push Hugh away so that he could move on with someone else and she could stay focused on school.
