Now it seems l keep reading storylines about a family member dying, and the main character has to travel to a new state/country to settle the estate, eventually deciding to stay or go. Then it seemed to be the fake girlfriend/wife storyline. A while ago it was the “Hollywood it girl” meets the girl next door.

It seems like lesfic really goes through trends. To be completely honest it wasn’t really my kind of book, but it was still a nice story. I have not read Fonseca before, but I’m very trustful of YLVA’s books so I jumped to read this. Due to the many challenges,both were very determined to draw everyone together to make things work:- flourishing restaurant,stable home-life,successful career etc. As for Lili she has faced her own adversities in the past but has continue to thrive and even though she herself has seen and observe things about Jess that others might have miss,what she does is rely on her own instinct and belief: that the truth is rarely what you want the world to see because she did get to see the 'REAL' Jess. When she looked at Lili what she observe was a doting mom who cherishes her daughter and also Love and cares about her parents deeply plus they all took care,adore and protected her brother while he was with them and for that she will always treasure this. She befriends both Lili's parents and even found herself embracing domesticity something she's always denied herself from because of her career plus she was not ready to be in a committed relationship. Everything changed because of Ben's daughter and the visit from that family friend (guardian): Jess bonds with Aruishi then with Lili (her mother). But she is suddenly caught between Love and Passion then finding out that her brother also had a four year old daughter. Jessica ends up having to return to her hometown - back at a place that she hasn't seen since both her parents separated, in order to take care of all her brother's business dealings. Fonseca has crafted a reasonably woven story about the complexities of many family dynamics from one country to the next with the value of having strong female relationships. **'I want to know what moment defined the character's relationship to their parents and also what moments defined their greatest desire & fear.Always assume that readers are at least as smart as you are as a writer.'Ĭ.
