Alice and Hayden are rival authors competing for a job in a small coastal town in Georgia. He is the grumpy to her sunshine and she is the opposite that he is attracted to. As they try to win this dream job and figure out the true story to report on, they grow closer. I really enjoyed this book, all of the characters have so much depth and backstory. I also loved how the author was able to describe the setting and that sticky heat that comes with summers in the south.
