Enjoyable romance with quite a bit of spice. The characters were mostly likeable - a few of them were somewhat one dimensional for much of the book. Cute story in a Gilmour Girls-eque town full of quirky characters who all know each other's business!

The upside of this: I almost organized a celebration when I received an early copy of this book (the amount of texts that I exchanged with my friends in FULL CAPS was not normal)… The downside after reading it was the challenge to make justice to one of my favorite romance reads of the year with only (but not limited to) words.
Let’s focus on 5 elements I loved about this story:
-Two main characters that are quite different but are somehow intrigued about each other
-Funny moments, thoughtful moments, moments of questioning what is right and who we are and how we deal with family and co workers and where are the lines between those two.
-Interactions with other characters and small gestures in daily life (I really appreciate when authors remember to include little moments of daily life, like work related scenes, since we spend so much of our awake time living through those)
-ALL.THE.TENSION.
-Small town setting, which is frankly not always my favorite in stories, but very well done here with quirks and a range of personalities
Lastly, it’s difficult to put into words how much I connected with Charlie inner turmoil. It made a big impact on me. I loved his generosity, but also his flaws.
I am now proceeding to have a reread of my paperback and add this book to the “comfort readings”… will also probably give a try to the audio, just to see how it sounds

Loved this book and the weaving in of romance and real life reflections. wish there was more closure with Charlie’s dad — like boundary setting or something.

Cute. Might have enjoyed more if I had read prior books and was more invested in the town.
