It has some classic tropes such as enemies to lovers (this is a label the author assigns but I’d argue they’re more acquaintance to lovers) as well as small town and big city romancing.
I really connected with Nora , as someone who is a complete workaholic but always feels the need to protect others first such as their sibling , but I’m glad that despite these things she still got her happy ending.
Overall it’s a great book, incredibly well written and I really have no complaints about it - the only reason it wasn’t rated higher was because it simply wasn’t a fave, as much as I love romance I prefer a little more world building and a little more magic/fantasy or academia.

And these books always inject the tears in me during the last hundred pages, and I love it every time.
Both Nora and Charlie were amazing as themselves, but they felt like two parts of one scissor that belong to each other. And until the very last page I hoped for how this book ends. That they have each other in the way they want.
And I definitely love that Libby was there and his family and all of the weird - in German I would say schrullig - parts of Sunshine Falls.
And then Dusty. Now I want to know what’s up with her, how her life looks like etc (btw I loved the Easter egg of the January Andrews circus book).
Last but not least - the fact that there was no third act breakup, even though there did appear some external conflict that was lovely, in the end.

no but fr following Nora and Libby to Sunshine Falls to sort out their own sibling relationship (amongst other things), coincidentally finding Nora's editorial rival
I do however wish the last chapter (not epilogue) was expanded on with one more inbetween chapter just for the sake of the pacing.
