This book was so fantastic, I love an eclectic, scatter-brained female lead (it makes me feel so seen lol) and Lo fit the bill perfectly. To say nothing of Jake, the titular "Grump", and all of his wonderful qualities. I was weeping a river of tears towards the end when he sent her away to grad school, literally about to punch my kindle mad. Already started the next in the series, and cannot recommend this one enough. Do I want to live on Oakley Island? Edit Note: I only felt the need to bump this down to 4 stars after I was so blown away by the sequel, we'll see how book 3 goes

Fun, funny, sweet, charming! Eloise and Jake. Loved the love letters. Liam was too cute and helpful. 11 year age gap but it worked. Small town vibes with great side characters.

Can I just say I love small town romances? This one takes place on an island which I loved.

I don't read a lot of clean romances because, in my opinion, it's hard to find good ones that aren't overly cheesy. This one was great though. I loved ALL the characters, especially Lo and Jake.

I actually got nervous that this wasn't going to end the way I wanted it to! I was 90% in and nothing was resolved the way I wanted it to be. Silly thinking. Lol.

I definitely recommend this one. :)
