I loved the first book in this series. Then I read this one. I loved the first 200 pages. The last 95 felt a little rushed to me. I loved that Daphine and Lila were rebuilding their lives and I liked the bit of Summer sprinkled in.
Here’s my issues I didn’t like that Allison came in as a character or how she wanted Rudi the dog. That was far too bold for a newly introduced character. I didn’t mind Lila and Ben’s friendship, I thought it was sweet. I didn’t like that Allison got the dog and her childhood house. It was too much. The. The fire at the store! That broke my heart I loved the store and the growth of the characters there. I was looking forward to it being part of Black Dog Bay like the Whinery.
Here’s my issues
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Fire/Fire injury
