I like Katherine Center’s books because there is some element of personal growth. This was on the verge of being difficult to read because of how Katie talked about/to herself when she was with Lance. Also thought Cole’s lie was ridiculous and I really didn’t see why Katie couldn’t have just pulled Hutch aside and told him the truth.

I very much enjoyed the subplots of personal growth, particularly the FMC’s relationship with herself. I also enjoyed learning some about the USCG and the making of informative videos. The romance was super slow burn, and almost seemed secondary at times. The supporting cast, rescue dog, and their stories were delightful, though.

The love story in this book is adorable, but my favorite part was easily Katie learning to love herself and overcoming her fears.

There were several pages of description of a character's struggles with restricted eating and calorie counting that was not content-warned ahead of time. Not the right time for me to read that.
Also, comparing Brene Brown to Maya Angelou is just peak white lady and I laughed out loud and put the book down at that exact moment.

Katherine Center is the queen of rom-coms, and this book is no less than perfection. I read this one in less than a day and it will so stick with me. I adored Katie’s character, and how real she felt and how much I could see myself in her. I also absolutely adored Hutch, that giant hero hunk of perfection. Like - talk about a book boyfriend. WOW. These characters really made this book, and honestly even the side characters were to die for! Rue and the Gals, George Bailey - I was cracking up at these characters and the love for life they brought to the story.
This book will have you laughing one moment, thinking about those difficult life moments the next, to reclaiming your relationship with your own body. Katherine Center’s rom-coms always come with a hint of important topics to foster self growth.
This book is a definite must read!!
