Swoony 50 First Date vibes (falling in love all over again) × drive/determined characters similar to The Wedding Planner × clean romance + loveable friends, family, guests, and pup = delightful read. ❤️
Denise Hunter's latest books are all ready to go straight to Hallmark. If Hallmark movies is your thing, then this is the perfect fall read for you!
Thanks to NetGalley for the advanced review copy--all opinions are my own!

I was planning on giving this a four star- but I felt like the ending was rushed and it pulled together all too neatly. Didn’t seem as believable at that point.
Oh, man. I feel like such a sap. I binge-listened to this and loved every moment. I love the premise- the amnesia. Throw in the best epilogue ever and you've got a win! I loved this story!

Before We Were Us is a Hallmark Movie in novel form. If you’re in the mood for an easy read and predictable story line you’ll likely enjoy this book. Unfortunately I was not. Centered on the amnesia trope, I found the book to be boring and tedious. The prose is unimaginative with so many cliche descriptions and analogies I was rolling my eyes by the end of it. It’s not even funny but it is sweet and there’s certainly a market for that as I’ve read many positive reviews for this book. I thought the narrator did a good job although I listened on 1.75 speed to get through it as I was not enjoying the story or writing.
This was an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
