Review: Undiagnosed Love

✩✩✩✩✩

Anna has always tried to do everything right, working hard through medical school, and now in her career as a doctor. She’s worked hard at her eight-year relationship with her fiancé Phil too, and can’t wait to get married and become part of Phil’s extended family. Then the unthinkable happens. Phil breaks up with her three months before their wedding. Luckily, Phil’s younger brother Seth works at the same hospital and is there to help her through the aftermath.

Seth’s always been the laid-back, jokey one in contrast to his more serious brother. He’s always secretly envied Phil’s relationship with Anna because she’s his epitome of the perfect girl. When he sees how devastated Anna is after his idiot brother dumps her, he does everything he can to get her smiling again.

But the more time they spend together, the more their connection grows.

Your brother’s ex-fiancée is off-limits. Everyone knows that.

The problem is when you accidentally cross that line, the repercussions can be immense.

Review: To be honest I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book, but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me of the time when when romance authors managed to write an entire story focusing on feelings, emotion and human relations. 

I loved the setting (I'm mostly used to reading novels placed in the US, so a change was refreshing) and loved both main characters. 

When Anna is dumped by her fiancé just three months before their wedding date, she looses the man she expected to spend her life with but also gains a new friend: Seth, her ex's younger brother. And yes, it's predictable in the sense that they end up progressing from friends to lovers, but it's also beautiful, and pretty realistic. Soon you'll find yourself laughing and crying along with them, cheering for their victories and feeling sorry for all the setbacks they face when their relationship finally comes to light. Even without any extra additions to the plot, there are lots of unexpected twists and turns until Seth and Anna finally manage to get to their very own happily ever after. 

 

This was the first book I've read by this author, but I will definitely look into her other books now. Recommended!

Happy readings!
