I had read this author before and was very interested in the setting of this book, Prince Edward Island since I had been there before. It did not disappoint! Bit of a Toronto base as well, and just as in a book I had just read many MANY references to Anne of Green Gables (and, why not it's fantastic). Good characters and good story.

When I read romance it’s because I really want to feel something. Unfortunately this book did not spark any feelings good or bad. I was obsessed with Every Summer After, and have been chasing that high ever since. So I was super hopeful for this book.

The most disappointing thing you can do in a romance book is just at random pair two characters together. I want to know why the characters would be attracted to each other in the first place. What is it they are searching for or drives them, and why does the other person fulfill those needs (even if they are not aware of it themselves to start). We don’t really get any of that in this book. I could not tell you what it was that made them so obsessed with each other, and I’d really love to know myself!

Bland. I liked the dynamic between the FMC and her best friend more than I liked the dynamic between her and the love interest. Wack.
