3.5
I liked the romance and the banter, but I honestly did get bored a couple of times. And although I like the sisterhood dynamic I couldn't help but not like Libby that much. I felt like some of her actions were kind of manipulative toward Nora. And I couldn't help but scream at Nora because she always felt compelled to put her sister first above everything even herself which I know was a part of her character development and whatnot, but it still annoyed me. I also liked hearing about the editing process of how a book gets developed so I found that part pretty cool.
Overall, I found the book to be okay. I was originally gonna give a 3.5/5 but I like Emily so I bumped it up by 0.25, but it's not my favorite from her.
Update: I've had time to sit on it and I'm gonna give it the original rating that I wanted. I don't think I should alter my rating of a book just because of my feelings towards the author. So this book is a 3.5/5 for me.

You know the Hallmark tropes of city slicker going to small town USA, falling in love, and dumping their Type A Exec girlfriend for the home town gal? Nora is the girl that gets dumped. Not once, not twice, but FOUR times! This is her story.
Pros:
Deep characters
Delves into difficult topics
Not your typical meet-cute RomCom
Highlights that different doesn’t mean wrong or unneeded.
Cons:
A bit too many F*bombs (53)
Really that was my biggest turn off! Sometimes they were warranted or could be looked over, but overall felt excessive.
Also be aware, that it IS open door romance. The scenes weren’t excessive or overdone and fit the story well.
