The universe has a plan for Daphne Bell. When she meets men, the universe leaves her a note with the man’s name and the length of time that their relationship will last. Knowing when the relationship will end allows Daphne to relax and enjoy their time together, but it also leaves her skeptical that she’ll ever find “the one”. Then, on a blind date, she receives the note ‘Jake’ with no date. Does not having an end date mean that Jake is “the one”?
I found the premise of this story to be really interesting and wondered how the author could get the reader to buy into the notion that there is a time limit on love. As I was reading through the flashbacks of Daphne’s past relationships because I knew the ending before the story began I didn’t get too invested in that partner for Daphne. But that was kind of the point, right? I was feeling Daphne’s own ambivalence. This created a great contrast to the emotions Daphne felt when she received the slip of paper with no date for Jake.
I always love these little hints of magic that this author puts into her stories. They elevate the mundane, and in this case built up hope that fate is real and that we all have that chance to find our one true love. This is actually what I loved about this book the most. That after an existence filled with deadlines our heroine was given hope and after a couple of life’s twists and turns, would be allowed her own happily ever after.
