“ we can always be surprised”
We returned back into the Shakespeare world with Portia returning to her hometown, which is highly obsessed with Shakespeare's works. It may not be ideal to read about Portia since her character wasn’t stellar in the first book of the series. But we can always be surprised.
I gave this book a chance because the characters can be surprising. And I have to say that I was surprised by how much I enjoyed reading this book. Portia was more like her in the first book. She was less bitchy. And that’s a lot to say when she wasn’t kind in her younger years. Her book gave her the chance to be her true self while she debated her stress and anxiety levels. I truly appreciate how we, as readers, get to understand how a very headstrong yet kind of mean character progresses into a more kind but still headstrong character.
While Portia deals with her hometown, she will also get the chance to fall in love. It may seem strange at first since she doesn’t do relationships. But Ben offers something she hasn’t felt in awhile. And it’s a good thing. He may be a little out there since he is a hotshot and a newcomer in Portia's hometown. But yet, he offers what’s missing in Portia's life with his unwavering belief in her career and passion.
I will warn you that there are a few heavy topics discussed in this book. I will recommend that you check out the content warning before reading.
