This book has so much going for it! I had a great time getting to know Amelia, Noah, the Walker siblings, and Rome, Kentucky. The town really was its own character, and the people in it were so easy to love.
I loved reading about Amelia coming into her own and rediscovering who she is. I loved reading about Noah relearning how to trust. I loved reading this book in general, and I'm excited to read more from Sarah Adams.
This is also the third (!) book I've read this year with a musician as the main character, and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. It reminds me of why I love my job, and I connect with their artistic struggles on a whole different level.
Read this book if you love
- Audry Hepburn movies
- grumpy/sunshine
- strangers to lovers
- small-town romance
- forced proximity
- silly nicknames
I can't exactly tell you why this book wasn't five stars, but I trust the ~vibes~ and for some reason my gut told me this was four stars, so four stars it is!
