A lovely, really well-paced romance that pulls off a convincing enemies to lovers trope without toxicity, includes love at all ages, and has a lovable and rich cast of characters.  It also depicts a broken family following tragedy, including how several family members struggle to heal from it. In the end, it’s a heartwarming read.

This was such a cozy read. Although the stakes are kind of high, I never really felt like there was any danger of things not working out - but in a good way. I think, as is usual with multiple povs that have separate plots, there isn't really a lot of time to get very complicated with any single one of them. There are hurdles along the way but both characters quickly overcome all of them. The love stories were cute and I was satisfied with the ending. I even got a little teary in the epilogue, thinking about the loved ones I've lost and the influence they have on me.
