The HGTV vibes of this book were really well done. I was afraid that this was going to be the only thing able to propel this book because of Astrid's personality but woah was I totally wrong. Astrid was so much more than what we got to see in book 1, we get to see just how much her mother and all of the expectations on her actually weigh on her and she doesn't want them. Watching Astrid break free and just be and let her relationships become real was such a fun ride.
Jordan was such a great character to read. She was so relatable in feeling like her life was a mess when in reality she had just had a bunch of crappy things going on in a row. I was invested in what happened to her and her former wife. I was invested in how much the Inn meant to her. Honestly Jordan was a much softer version of Delilah and I absolutely loved it.
The angst and pining in this was top tier. I think that Astrid and Jordan have become my favorite couple in this series. And they may stay that way but I'll have to give Iris a chance.

It had me squealing with joy, kicking my lil feet, gasping, and crying.
There was a beautiful, emotional way Herring Blake characterized the FMCs.
I love a woman who is a little mean, cold, and distant who discovers that she is in reality kind, warm and loving. I resonated with these characters so much and loved that Herring Blake touched on established tropes but didn't fall into the formulaic, over-done arcs.
Moderate: Abandonment
