this has the perfect ratio of pining + romantic interactions and that is why i would always disagree with the current discourse that contemporary romance novels shouldn’t be longer than 300 pages. i like to savor the slow burn; and characters are more fleshed out this way

i feel confused about this. i really liked it but there are some weird things ive noticed that have lowkey given me the ick such as, why does she exclusively refer to her ex-fiancé as "the ex" for 350 pages?, why does noah call her "wife" every other sentence (cute at first but it got insufferable) and why is the town they live in called friendship. this stuff got on my nerves maybe a bit too much and took away from the reading experience.. but otherwise this was a really good and interesting story, and i really appreciated the body diversity of the fmc

I enjoyed this book. It did not need to be quite as long as it was, I felt a slightly sped up timeline or some editing would’ve benefitted the book. Noah was the perfect mix of sweet and protective grump. I liked that both Noah and Shay were vulnerable and tried to support each other in confronting their insecurities. Gennie was a cute rambunctious kiddo that added a fun dynamic. This book is a bit of a slow burn but is quite spicy once you hit that point in the book. I would recommend this book!

I absolutely adored this story! After being left on her wedding day, Shay packs up moves to the one place that she couldn't wait to get away from.
When a family member dies and leaves Shay a farm, a requirement to live on the farm for a year and show proof of a marriage before she can claim what was left to her, Shay decides that she must go back to the small town of friendship to figure out what she wants in her life. When she arrives she's almost immediately faced with someone from her past and an offer she can't refuse.

Things I loved: both characters in the couple, Gennie, the town, the chemistry between the couple.
Things i wish there was more of: communication on what they were thinking. I wish the characters would've said what they were thinking a bit earlier. I also wished for more flashbacks of them being friends in high school that really nailed in just how close they were. Another thing was I couldn't really necessarily pin down Gennie's age. Her personality and the things she did and said felt contradictory and confused me with her age.
