I haven't changed in that regard. LOL I love swooning in romantic reads, so I'm sure that I'd love Brett's character too :) I think the message in Between the notes is an important one. I agree that our society is too materially driven, and all about "keeping up with the Jones.'" I like when a character grows, and that she got to experience "walking in someone else's shoes. " I'm glad you enjoyed both of these books! The both sound like great stories! Wonderful Reviews Sam :)<br /><br />Lindy@ A Bookish EscapeLindy Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037195934272974300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-12067982264440773922020-02-06T09:22:37.424-05:002020-02-06T09:22:37.424-05:00I bought Notes because I loved How to Disappear so...I bought Notes because I loved How to Disappear so much, and it had gave me the same sort of feels with a completely different story.
