This is my first time reading a book by Denise Hunter. The characters, the storyline, etc has depth to it. 
Both Aiden and Sophie experience growth. Sophie was able to set boundaries with her family. Aiden and Sophie both were able to stop living in fear.
The scripture“ perfect love casts out fear” was on my mind while reading this story.

This was just a good read. I think many people can identify with Sophie's need to control based on the circumstances she was thrust in as a teenager. Also the fear of abandonment I'm sure will resonate with anyone who has dealt with divorce or death. I would have loved to visit the bookshop and I LOVED seeing the Quinn's show up in this book! :)

-Dual POV
-Second chance romance

Stopped @ 40%. I just couldn't connect with the main characters and their story. 
I have enjoyed many of this authors books; this one just wasn't for me. Her Bluebell Inn series is one of my favorites.

A cute, light read. The concept was fun, just not my style of book.
