3.5 The book is kind of difficult to rate as I enjoyed the overall story but didn't like every way it was told. In the beginning many things were described in way too much detail for my taste. I see that every item had a meaning for Gina but I don't need to know about every bowl or how many different mugs she is having in her cupboards, including a detailed description. Fortunately this got less throughout the book. I think the book could have been way shorter. I did like the reviews of Gina's past as they gave an interesting insight to Gina's personality, how she got the person she is now. Gina is going through a different phase in her life and isn't always making the right decision. I had my problems with her character and never got 100% warm with her. The book got better after about one third of the book. I enjoyed the cosy atmosphere of it and seeing the change of life Gina is going through. The book is carrying a great message: treasure the small things to make the best of your life. The ending disappointed me as I not a big fan of open endings, especially at that point of the story.
