Dollycas’s Thoughts
A man decides to live his last days doing things he enjoys. Then a woman enters his life shaking up everything.
I have been struggling with this review for a few weeks I even read parts of the book again when I saw some 5 star reviews but this just wasn’t the book for me. I didn’t feel engaged by any of the characters and believe me there were plenty.
The cycling theme was interesting as was the Belguim area setting. The author is definitely familiar with both.
Mr, Zink has written a complicated story of romance and relationships. It meanders round and round but the ending left me cold.
