Ok, this book had some cute moments, but there were way too many side plots happening, it was too much. I felt that at times it really dragged and was so slow. It was unnecessary long. It was like she felt she had to fill in the space with so many different subplots and characters because there wasn't enough substance to the main plot.
I was conflicted about Maggie. She is headstrong, hardworking, independent, and pretty badass. On the flip side, her inability to make decisions, let others make their own decisions, and form commitments was very frustrating. She is so stuck to her plan that she is completely inflexible.
I got a few good laughs from Silas' antics, but he was a walking red flag (and not the good kind). He is a bit of a love-bomber and pretty immature for his age. His treatment of Maggie gave me the ick. I'm pretty sure she is perfectly capable of making her own decisions, yet he constantly questions her ability to do so. She was very clear and upfront about their relationship from the beginning. He's almost manipulative in the way that he pushes her to make the decision that he wants, not the decision that she wants.
I loved Kevin, Dolly, and Taco. I am a sucker for cute animals in a book and these 3 stole the show.
Also, what was with that weird lack of an epilogue. We get a few sentences wrapping up each couple's story and that's it. Lame.

Not enough of the dog (who is described as brindle in the book so…). The best character is a curmudgeonly towns person.
Dual pov but there’s only one narrator 😕
