Just One Look

"Not a fan of this book. It practically drug the story from start to finish. I should have just read the last chapter and epilogue. "

"This is a story about Dani who at 13 in the 60’s falls in love with John! John was her soul mate and he eventually proposed. Unfortunately, the Vietnam disagreement started heating up in the early 70’s and the draft was issued. John was drafted and not long after he was killed in the war. <br/>Dani, who was beautiful enough to become a model, didn’t think she would ever find love again and began clubbing and having make out sessions with several guys for years. <br/>One of her conquests was Luke, whom she didn’t love him, but he offered her financial stability and a chance for him to pay her tuition. So when he proposed she said yes. Luke was a complete jerk and even when she had his baby, he refused to ever look at their daughter. <br/><br/>Dani, is one of those characters that you fall in love with and wish nothing but the best. Yes, she made bad decisions, but don’t we all at some point in our lives? She was able to grow from her past loss and mistakes and the author did a brilliant job at conveying this message. <br/><br/>This was a wonderful story about love, loss, resiliency, family and determination. It was set mostly in the 70s and the timeline just added to the plot with Vietnam. <br/>I highly recommend this book!"

"This was a short book and the timeline was super rushed because of that, I’m actually pretty sure she said she loved him a week after they got married☠️ there was more **** then there was the plot which is crazy to me. Since this book felt super rushed I didn’t feel a connection to it."
