Laura has such an idealized idea of love, which makes her feel like a cookie cutter romcom fmc for me. She's dimwitted about what's right in front of her, but her romantic journey is still entertaining. I had fun with the taxi and suitcase escapades, even if the outcome felt predictable. More intriguing than who she'll end up with is her family story that unravels throughout the book in Laura's own recounting, old letters between her parents, and meeting her father's family as well as the tales her grandmothers and great-aunt can relay. The family story without the romance plot would likely be a slog to get through, though, without more drama added. Seeing the island of Jersey through Laura's eyes is also beautiful.

i wouldn't categorize this as romance, it's way too heavy. definitely more women's fiction.
