Mr. Big is a second chance romance full of angst and pain. Emma and Zach have known each other since they were kids; Zach is the best friend of her brother. History and pain keep them apart for over ten years and they spend a good portion of the first half of the story fighting how they feel for one another.
The slow boil romance is back and forth and well laid out. Zach is a man who believes he is not a good choice for Emma, that he simply isn’t good enough for her because of who he is. Darkness swirls in his head and eats away at his self-worth. His internal battle is at times so harsh you can visualise how little worth he has in himself. The way Emma sees him is so completely different, she knows his worth.
‘Emma was now his responsibility and he had no idea what to do about it. Once rule though: despite the years, she was still off-limits.
You’d do well to remember that.’
The flashbacks in this story blend in effortlessly with the present. These scenes give more depth of colour to the characters’ lives. The only issue I had with this book is the blurb. It talks about a man and his large stick, and yet his stick isn’t even that prominent in the story, which to me is great. Mr. Big was all about the love two people had for each other and the pain that surrounded them and made them doubt themselves and what they were trying to make of their future together.
The description and attention to detail when it came to London was done by an author who clearly loves London. She clearly has a great understanding on the correct method practices in how to create a good read. Mr. Big was full of secondary characters that made me laugh or made me want to punch someone. Zach’s self-deprecation was deep and black. Self-destructive to the core and full of so much venom I feared he may poison himself before he found his way.
