I whizzed through First Time Caller by B.K. Borrison in two days. That said, I struggled with the beginning of this book. As someone who has watched Sleepless in Seattle more than once, it seemed as though the author had lifted the story straight from the movie. It began to follow its own path, and I very much enjoyed the characters who were the unique aspect of this story, but my feelings overall were colored by that first impression. The author adds a note acknowledging a love of the aforementioned film, but I'm still sad that they could not use it as inspiration rather than a remix.
Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy.
