Could Be Something Good

General info

Daniel is intrigued by Winnie the first time he sees her. Winnie isn't interested at first. She has a bad break up behind her and her mothers stupid expectations constantly upon her. Additionally, Daniel is a little younger than she is. It could not end up in anything good, right?

Things I liked 

Once again, Fiona West does it. This is a light, joyful read even though it deals with some everyday issues, for example how dyslexia is treated in life. The characters are complex and interesting. They all have their own issues, but they also come through strongly and happier. 

Conclusion

There is nothing I did not like in this book. It is a great, quick and joyful read and I can't wait to travel back to Timber Falls and read the next story in the series.

This story is about Winnie, a nurse/midwife in her 30's, and Daniel, a med student-soon-to-be-Doctor. There is a lot of pinning in this book and it is insta-lovey from Daniel's side. 
While it is not a bad story, I found that I didn't care for Winnie and Daniel, much. I was more interested in the side characters and am looking forward to Kyle and Ainsley's book. I'm guessing that since it is the first book in a series, that is why there was a lot of attention on the main side characters. 

I did like that there was Dyslexia (Daniel) and Autism (Kyle) rep but I do wish that had been explored a little bit more. At least on Daniel's side since this is his book. I'm hoping that there will be more in book 2. 

The main reason I gave it a rating of 3.5 is because I didn't like the writing style and I spent most of the book trying not to let my frustrations cloud my judgment of the book. Obviously, that didn't work out. This is my first book from Fiona West so maybe I just have to get used to her writing and that's why I will be giving book 2 a chance. But other than that I don't think I will go out of my way to look into her other books and giving them a try.

There were quite a bit of superhero references (and it literally took me most of the book to realize there is a little Thor on the cover) and I didn't mind them at all. I'm not the biggest fan of the overuse of pop culture in books but I am a HUGE superhero fan --I mean, I do have over 300 superhero movies-- but if that does annoy you, I would proceed with caution.

A huge thank you to netgally for this ebook! I was so excited about it the synopsis sounded so cute. But sadly this book wasn’t for me. Daniel, who’s head over hills at first glance, is a lot. Winnie is supposed to be slightly older than him but acts like she’s 20 years older. Also, there’s a lot of names and they switch back and forth from calling them Dr. (last name) and the characters first name I was getting confused. The premise sounded good but it just wasn’t for me.

I love medical dramas, and when I saw that Could Be Something Good centers around a hospital in a small town, I knew I had to pick the book up!  
I really liked reading about Winnie and Daniel’s romance. The chemistry that they shared was so heart-warming! Daniel is such a sweetheart! The way he supported and cared for Winnie made my heart go “Awwww”  Winnie’s insecurities about dating a guy who was younger than her seemed perfectly realistic. I’m glad how the author chose to portray Winnie’s feelings about the matter! I wanted to know more about how Winnie and Daniel felt about each other though ~ with more depth, I mean.
Among other aspects of the book, Winnie and her mother’s relationship was the most interesting to read about! Conflict between a parent and a child regarding career choices is a pretty common. Kudos to the author for approaching this topic in such an appreciative manner.  Daniel’s family was really adorable too! I loved reading his conversations with his dad and Kyle. 😁 Small town romances are the sweetest things ever! So glad I got to read this book 💜
