A have quite a bit of thoughts on this. Probably my least favorite of her books which is disappointing especially because this follows the world of education. Some parts of this book felt completely wild. It was hard to really love the FMC and MMC throughout the first chunk of this book. This definitely focused on heavy topics that as educators we already deal with on the daily. In some ways it seemed ridiculous that when the MMC is the new principal proposing stuff about safety(even if some of it is warranted) the teachers were freaking out as if it shouldn't be talked about. There is some talk about trauma from the MMC. Of course it's fiction so parts of it I loved especially the little boy Clay(sweetest little bean) and Babette! But this one just didn't completely hit like her other books do. Still had its fun moments though. And the romance was still cute.

This book certainly brings you on a roller coaster of emotions. It starts off with the loss of the beloved principle of their school. Sam is devastated but even more so when she hears the replacement is her unrequited love that she escaped from just a few years ago.
However, he isn't the man she remembers. Gone is the fun loving happy man, replaced with a stickler for safety. Taking it so overboard as to almost ruin her school. From the butterfly garden, field trips to the ocean for cleanups and the fun murals and bright colors.
Many themes run through the book, including finding joy, happiness and finding balance.
I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
