Charlie runs a failing coffee shop in Seattle. One day, a new customer walks in, captivating her. But is Mack everything she seems?
Mack is a bestselling author with writer's block. She runs away from New York to her parents' house in Seattle to find some inspiration. The last thing she expected when she walked into Sugar Mugs was to fall in love.
I absolutely loved this book. The chapters alternate between Charlie and Mack, each pushing the story forward. They are so well written that I was absolutely captivated. The story is joyful and filled with love, from Charlie and her best friend Ben; Charlie and her favourite customers; Mack and her parents; and obviously Charlie and Mack.
One small thing bugging me - why did Mack feel like she recognises Rene?!
I can't wait to read more from Dana Hawkins.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
The first 30% kind of dragged and was very repetitive but when it started finding itself it was hard to put down.
Charlie and Mack have great chemistry and you want them to be together and be happy!
They’re both kind of a mess which is really comforting.
Mack’s parents are so wonderful and supportive!
I really didn’t like Charlie’s friend Ben. I can’t put my finger on why, but he just bothered me for some reason.
Overall, this was a beautiful book and I really did love Charlie and Mack.
