Sweet, funny romance with a great supporting cast.  Both lead characters have made mistakes in their pasts and once they get past their stubbornness, they are able to sensibly move forward with their lives.  The real-life issues that they and their friends and family address show that no poor decisions should ever define someone for life.

A cute romance for sure. I liked that Georgie realized that she didn't need to change, but rather lean into who she already is. That seemed to be a departure from typical romance scripts for the female love interest. I didn't like how the author used the concept of "blankness" to describe how Georgie viewed herself and her future. It was reminiscent of being on drugs or depressed or something and it didn't seem to accurately describe her inner state. Also, Georgie vaguely referred to something embarrassing or terrible that happened before moving away from Darentville, but that never gets explained.
