While I did enjoy this story, it wasn’t a 4 ⭐️ read for me. I’m not entirely sure why, but there were a few things that didn’t hit the mark for me. I will say, I really really enjoyed the last quarter of the book. It was cute and quirky, and the side characters were a lot of fun.

this is the feeling of falling in love & getting butterflies in your stomach with someone who might not be ready for you in that moment but its ok beca you arent ready either

 I thought this was a great, cute read. Alison arrives at her ex-boyfriend’s funeral only to realize his family doesn’t know that they had broken up. Caught in an awkward situation, she agrees to spend four weekends with her ex’s grumpy (but handsome!) best friend to help clean out his apartment. All sorts of sweet hijinks ensue. 

Bonus points for a local author who writes really authentically about the Twin Cities and Minnesota.
