wilybooklover's review against another edition
4.5
Will and Nora were so adorable together. Love at first sight is not ordinarily my favourite trope to read but I loved the way it played out here, how it was still a slower-burn. Reading the way Will felt so much but so desperately didn't want to turn into his parents, the way that Nora clung to the past and was so averse to change, and the way they both overcame those struggles to become stronger together was so heartwarming. I really enjoyed that although they faced multiple conflicts with each other there wasn't a huge dramatic fight and breakup near the end that derailed the romance. And I'm always here for a hurt/comfort trope and a found family aspect in any book.
The only thing that I didn't quite enjoy was the involvement of so many side characters in the resolution of the final couple of conflicts, nor the very public nature of Will's declaration (public grand gestures horrify me, in all honesty, although the heroine loved it so...).

But! I loved this! I loved Nora and Will and all of the growth they both showed throughout this book. I loved the longing we got to see from both of them.
I loved the whole entire cast of characters the book was based around. I love the found family aspect. I love Gerald and Sally especially! I just loved it.

Will, not wanting a thing to do with the inherited apartment, decides the best thing to do is to rent it out. And the neighbors do not approve. Including Nora, who Will thinks he might have fallen for all those years ago. Can they work through the renovations and problems?
