A delightful, charming romance that has both heart and catharsis.
Flynn’s entertaining latest novel, the third installment in the Like No Other series, takes readers on a couple’s journey as they try to navigate the ups and lows of their relationship. A decade after Amanda Marsh sent her love Ethan Knight away, never expecting him to stay gone, her perfectly ordered life as a high school principal is disrupted when he unexpectedly returns to their small town. Despite her efforts to avoid him, they’re thrown together when he’s hired to lead a student summer workshop. Ethan’s return reignites long-forgotten feelings, but Amanda is still harboring resentment. As they navigate their complicated past and present, will they find a way to reconcile, or will old wounds prove too deep to heal?
Flynn’s tale of Amanda and Ethan offers a delightful twist on the classic “opposites attract” dynamic. Despite Amanda’s lingering affection for Ethan, her unresolved resentment keeps her from acknowledging her true feelings. Meanwhile, Ethan remains steadfast in his love for Amanda, yet struggles to understand the source of her animosity. Amanda’s emotional vulnerability and Ethan’s unwavering determination lend them an authentic air, while the backdrop of the summer workshop setting is vividly depicted. As readers journey alongside Amanda and Ethan through their ups and downs, they find themselves eagerly anticipating not only the inevitable happy ending but also the emotional release that accompanies it. While this novel is the third installment in the series, it stands confidently on its own, with only fleeting references to characters from earlier books. A wholly entertaining, heartwarming romance.
