I really liked this book and how it was a quick, fast-paced read. Wit and Meredith were adorable, and I loved the beginning of their relationship. I also thought it was super cute how

Claire tried to set the two of them up before she passed.

The setting of the vineyard and plot line with the Assassin game were lovely. I almost gave it 4 ⭐️ because it kind of dropped off in the last half and I didn’t like the miscommunication, but it was resolved nicely and I had to give it a little bump for being such a quick and fun read. :)

It good book about healing and finding yourself again after a huge lost. Its funny, lovable and nice. But also do not completely avoid the topic of losing someone that you love so much. Because grief its a hard emotion that sometimes can bring a lot of happier memories and get his and sometimes its just pure excruciating pain. And that why I like this book .OF bringing the hope that can be better and you do not have to forget about some but honor him. And finding yourself again after losing everything. And I love the concept of the gaim. And the whole family that is so close to each other. And I absolutely fall in love with the place in the book.

The 2 main characters are so adorable together - the romance isn't cringe or overly spicy. I feel like sometimes it does get a bit repetitive,

especially when Meredith keeps talking about how she misses her sister or how this reminds her of this, but overall it is just true to her character.

I wrote 'it's complicated' for 'is the cast of characters is diverse' because only the background characters are unique. Meredith and Wit are quite stereotypical, but they are still written well.
Also, the Taylor Swift references weren't as prominent as I was expecting - there could always be more ;) But whenever I saw them, it just really lifted the book ✨

“It's one of those special places where you feel like time doesn't exist. Where it will always be summer, where I'll always wake up with you.”

This was a pretty fun and cute read that made me nostalgic for the summer time and family gatherings. It did take me a bit longer to read this than I expected, though.
