Once I set myself straight and forced myself to not be a cynical bitch about the entire premise of the book (knowing someone for 24 hours and falling in love with them) I was able to enjoy it. This was my first Carley Fortune book and won’t be my last- her writing is really beautiful and the story flows at a nice pace (I sometimes find contemporary romance to be a snooze fest without the rom-com aspect). The side characters were great which is something I love in a novel. After reading the authors note this went from a 3.5 to a 4 star read. Sometimes knowing a little background really helps put things into perspective. If you like Emily Henry, you’ll definitely like this book. I’m not a huge EH fan, but I actually did enjoy this- especially as a beach read or palette cleanser from my heavier or more complicated fantasy books.

This was probably my least favorite out of Carley Fortunes books. It felt slightly jumbled/not as smooth as her other books, but I did enjoy the story and the intent behind the book. It wasn’t the best flashback/current day book I’ve read and I wish we had the mom’s diary excerpts starting from the beginning of the book as I think they were important to the backstory and us learning about Fern’s and her her moms relationship. I wasn’t head over heels for Will either, his character was swoon worthy but it felt lackluster in some spots. But a decent summer read.
