Honestly, for me? The most exciting thing about this book? Is that Meredith and Wit from The Summer of Broken Rules are background characters because I *adored* them. Anyway. this was cute and fast-paced and I really liked Mads as a character. That being said, I did think it dragged on a little too long at times and wrapped up a little too quickly. But I had such a delightful time with it that ultimately I didn't really mind.

This was a feel good + fun YA novel. It had super cute family dynamics, friendships, drama & dating mishaps.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one & all of the characters from Mads to Marco to Connor to Austin to Katie's bridesmaids. Each person brought so much to this story with their distinctive personalities to create this delightful group & atmosphere.
It had all of the makings of a good YA book.
The premise of it gave me small town ranch with Christmas vibes. It felt like a YA hallmark movie meets Disney 👌🏻
I really liked Connor but my favorite from Mad's suitors was definitely Marco! Their friendship & chemistry was very cutesy!
That whole plot with Katie was unexpected. The author played on our thoughts well with that though it did have me a bit like "this kinda doesn't add up" but it was fine, as I liked that it took a different direction.
Maddie's blind date saga was an entertaining element added in. I absolutely loved Maddie's entire family & their tight knit bond. Plus the fact she bonded well with the bridesmaids & gained new friendships. She really built a big squad for herself, it felt heartwarming! She was fortunate to have that many people in her corner.
I was very pleased about who she romantically ended up with. He was my preference for her so I'm glad they got a HEA. They were so endearing throughout the book! The chemistry was definitely present. He had a charming sense of humour and was always there to help her/showed up when needed. Again Mad's was lucky coz she had 2 great guys in her life. Overall t'was enjoyable in general, getting into this cozy read!
P.S. A moment for that vibrantly beautiful cover & spine! 💖

Did I like the other book I’ve read by K L Walter? No. Did I still listen to this? Yes. I did like the tie in from the other book and im sure I missed a few things from other books but that was fun. I think the back and forth and lack of communication really bugged me. The story itself had a good amount going on and wasn’t too bad but I just gotta stop reading YA books
