💭 My Thoughts 💭

Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle was different from what I was expecting and exactly what I needed. Something about the way Rebecca writes mesmerises me, and I am hooked. I couldn’t put the book down.
The way she describes things is magical.

“But I still loved the city. The way things always felt like they were coming together. In Los Angeles things disperse, simmer, yawn. In New York they connect, spark, crash.”

“Our mouths do battle – like we’re trying to find something in each other, some hidden key buried under teeth and gums and bone.”

The romance is slow, tender, and sweet. It was some of the best love scenes I’ve read without a drop of graphic detail on the page; it was feelings and emotions; you just got the feels.

Overall, this book is excellent, and I’ll reread it soon. However, a couple of things made this a 4-star read.

The first thing is that when she tells Hugo about the notes, he accepts it. No questions asked. He says, oh, ok, so you knew it had an endpoint… (paraphrasing there), and that was it. Really? Not a single question? No – who, what, when, where, how, why, show me? I find that hard to believe.
The second thing is the end bit, if you know, you know. How could he do that?

Anyway. It was a great book; I highly recommend you pick it up.
