I love a romance where the characters do not find all of life's answers in each other and instead do the actual work of figuring their crap out AND ALSO learning to love and fit together. Plus, a female main character who is outstanding at her job of smoothing out everyone else's chaotic messes but is not-so-secretly an unanchored, chaotic mess herself? Yes. Realness. PLUS, a grumpy, wounded, previous bad boy with emotional integrity and a heart as big as his rescue pittie's smile?! Swoon. Georgie and Levi — so good together and so good in their individual journeys. Beautiful portrayals of growth, connection, vulnerability. If I didn't require more snarky humor in my romances and if I was able to connect more with the hometown, high-school-hijinks device that guided the self-discovery, this would probably have been a 5-star read.
