This book has a good message in it but it reminded me too much of a hallmark movie. It was a little too cheesy for my taste and I think the conflict through Hallie’s eyes are dumb.

Julian and Hallie were so sweet! I really enjoyed how their dynamic worked within the semi slow burn. I think the plot was cute and i'm glad they worked out their issues. My problem with the book was first off was the lack of details on important plot stuff (post fire Dad plot, what happened to Hallie grandma, what happened to uncorked?) and the immediate apology acceptance after all the lying Hallie did. Like I get that he thought it was her anyways but she still lied?? It was a good book but not the best Tessa Bailey i've read.

9/10. I really enjoyed this book. I liked the character growth that both mcs go through during the span of their relationship. Love the dual POV. The only reason that I am not giving 10/10 is because while I love this book, I'm not obsessed with it.

This book was not my cup of tea. I had problems with the characters, the characters’ actions, and the ideals presented in this story.

I enjoyed this book I've been excited to read it for awhile it was a cute read i think the ending could've been better still enjoyable though this book is about the main character's Julian and Hallie i loved the fact that we got to meet August and Natalie in this book I can't wait to read there story in Unfortunately yours and there is secret love letters that Hallie writes Julian confessing to him her feelings that she's had for awhile some of the tropes in this book are Opposites attract, Small town romance, Grumpy x Sunshine and Second chance romance this book has a happy ending with no cliffhangers no love triangle and no cheating and also Hallie has her friend Owen who she likes only as a friend but Owen likes her more then a friend so there is jealousy between Julian and the side character Owen but nothing crazy it still had me giggling every time Julian got jealous i loved it this book is spicy not extremely spicy but
nonetheless spicy im not very good at reviews so I'll leave it at that👆🏽and overall i rated this book 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Tessa Bailey book I’ve read so far! I love the angst and the character growth in this one. She really sets a beautiful tone and scene for the whole book. Highly recommend if you’re into grumpy sunshine and slow burn in the best way.
