Synopsis

In 1980s New York City, young lawyer Nick Coleman meets free spirit Caroline Sedlak in an evening fiction writing course. A vivacious fixture at a Greenwich Village bar, she remains mysterious about her life until their teacher reads her story submission to the class, and Nick realizes that a darker past lurks beneath her happy-go-lucky exterior. Nick must confront demons of his own while struggling to prove himself to his colleagues as a young blind lawyer at an office that handles appeals for indigent convicted felons.Nick’s practical, goal-driven approach to life balances Caroline’s quixotic nature, and their friendship soon deepens into something more. For some time, they’re happy together. But as the two become closer, Nick’s reluctance to commit collides head-on with Caroline’s need to be loved and belong. Soon, they realize that Caroline hasn’t left her past far behind after all … and the behavior that Nick once found charming first frustrates, then terrifies him. As the two spiral toward an inevitable clash, Nick must choose between the life he thought he wanted, and the woman he can’t bring himself to admit he loves.

I have been picking up historical fiction novels more recently and was very excited when I got approved to read this title through NetGalley.

Goodreads review by Tori on March 02, 2022

I received an advanced copy from the Goodreads giveaway. Sadly, as of right, I DNF it. I did try really hard, but I found myself reading parts of the same page over and over. I couldn't connect to the pages and I'm hoping that I can come back and read it at another time. I didn't want to write a rev......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on March 29, 2022

This just wasn't for me. Too cerebral. I couldn't tell you what it was really about or what I was supposed to take away from it. I definitely think it has an audience. It just wasn't me.......more
