Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC.

I loved how the topic of grief was handled in this book as well as the messages surrounding it. Feeling your grief and learning to let it go was highly relatable for me. I loved the characters and their stories as well.

This was a sweet book that I think many people would enjoy. It was too sweet for my taste, and I should know better than to pick up any book with magical realism, it just is not my thing. The description of the Alabama coastal setting was excellent -- it made me want to go on vacation to visit the ocean. The descriptions were so good that I momentarily forgot that I hate hot and humid weather and also would not want to give the state of Alabama any of my tourism dollars right now. But this was a nice hopeful book where everyone finds their person, discovers their true passion in life, and effortlessly becomes part of a loving and welcoming community of quirky and charming townsfolk.
