4⭐️: Really enjoyed it and stayed engaged throughout. Would read book again. Definitely recommendable.

I'm so glad we got another book in the series.  This one happens to be ir, and I enjoyed it so much like the others (which are bmbw).  It was great to visit sweet gum meadows again.  This story gave me all the feels like the author's previous stories.  These two are so charming, and i absolutely loved Alex's parents.  They brought another level of sweetness and family presence to the story.  I can't wait for the author's next book.
