A very cute book! I loved learning more and more about Fern’s relationship with her mother, and learning more about her mother’s past, as the book went on. And even though Will finally opening up and letting Fern in only happened because of his sister, it was a wonderful way of resolving Fern and Will’s communication breakdown. 

Just a little bit of spice but a lot of pining and love.

The emotions this book elicited from me caught me off guard in the best way possible. I went into this with the impression that it was going to be a second chance, right person/wrong time, romance but when I tell you I was in TEARS at certain points in this book I mean it. It pulls at your heart strings and leaves you with this tender-hearted love for these characters and their journeys and how, inevitability, they are once again brought back together (even if it was 10 years "too late"). I had such a great time listening to this book and loved every second of Fern and Will's story.

I wasn't fully sold on this book and this love story until maybe 75% of the way through. I just didn't get hooked and kept getting distracted until I was almost crying. The three story timelines were well done, but lack of communication is such a not fav for me.

I’m loving this author. Two books out and both were 5 stars for me. Definitely the expert of the second chance romance. I cried at the end and whenever a book has me staying up late and crying that has to be 5 stars. I was just so in love with Will for sure and their love story. I would be happy with more smut but there was enough to keep me going! I was invested. I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next.
