Really cute book. Loved the grandmother's storyline way more, but had small town Hallmark feel, but with a lot more depth. Recommend.

This book is pretty much everything I wanted it to be. Romance plays an important role, but it's even more about family and friendship, and how those support systems can help you finding yourself. It's sweet and lighthearted without being boring. The characters are very well developed and loveable, it's impossible not to form an attachment and root for them. I found the story engaging and it leaves the reader with a simple but beautiful message in the end. It's probably not a book that will change your life drastically or shift in your seat, but it's a fun and wholesome read and sometimes that's just what you need.

This book was amazing. I enjoyed reading about Leena and Eileen's adventures through their eyes and seeing them both grow so much throughout the course of the story. 

This book literally made me laugh and cry within the space of a couple of chapters. Full of excellent humour from both characters lives and fun all round. It almost made me wish I could live in this little bookiverse.
