3.0

I had high hopes for this book, and I was a little disappointed. Bonnie’s character aimed for outgoing and brash and kinda fell flat with a few iffy one liners. We didn’t get to experience the main characters falling in love, and instead it was a week or two together and insta-love, followed immediately by the third act breakup. It didn’t feel like a lighthearted book. It felt like if Bonnie didn’t have Rowan, then she felt like a complete failure. 

Pretty sure the male narrator is using a computer to voice the women in his chapters. He also sounds as English as he does Scottish, and his American accent sounds English, too. If you’re going to buy the audio hoping for a sexy Scottish narrator, prepare to be disappointed.

A super cute, dual POV romance that I got from Kindle unlimited! I absolutely loved everything about the small Scottish town this book was set in. It was so quaint and I just loved everyone that lived there. Bonnie was slightly immature and I found her kind of annoying at times but I really loved Rowan and the relationship that the two ended up having. Bonnie does a lot of growing up in the book so by the end she wasn't as annoying as the beginning. CW for death of a sibling (accident) and death of a parent (cancer). I was truly sobbing at some parts of this. Overall an entertaining and fun romance with some emotional depth.
