A Love Song for Ricki Wilde

3.5 - I liked this story, but it didn't connect with me on a deeper level. I found the ending predictable, which took away most of its impact.

Tia has a great talent for writing good love interests, portraying their chemistry, and describing compelling love scenes. However, many of the side characters felt one dimensional.

The magical realism elements were fine. I liked it more than I thought I would, but at the same time I was conflicted. I both wanted to know more about people with “the diagnosis” and was annoyed by the magical element.

I did enjoy reading it towards the end of February on a leap year. It felt right.
