I enjoyed a number of things about last night's Super Bowl, but this thing was the best thing. I had my arm around my 6-year-old girl as we watched it and, yes, that is what it means.
If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, I've done a shamefully poor job of addressing my love for Cat Sebastian 's books around these parts. I've certainly noted each time her beautiful stories have appeared on my end-of-the-year best of lists, see: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes , basically every book in The Cabots series , and of course We Could Be So Good . And the pull is, quite simply, this: nobody is as kind and gentle with their characters and with their hearts than Cat Sebastian. Nobody. I haven't always been one for the gentler stories, but I cannot overstate the absolute gift it is sinking into one of Sebastian's exquisitely crafted historicals knowing that I get to spend the next however many pages watching two idiots pine and deny that feelings exist and just take care of each other as they fall in love. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. Not this one or any other. Only two things in the world people count by months. H
I'm so glad you posted about this. I hadn't seen it until now. Brought tears to my eyes! Thanks :'D
ReplyDeleteSame, Sandy. When she says, "It means run as fast as you can." YES.
