Love this book and the story. Romance is pretty conflict free and I love how real world conflict and feelings take the forefront of the conflict the characters go through, rather than pointless relationship conflict that just perpetuates this poor standard/romanticization of bad relationships in the romance genre. Maybe that’s a drag to say? But I do have to hand it to a story that’s realistic, and this really is. It also, imo, reflects a fairly mature and healthy adult relationship.
The characters aren’t always likeable, and won’t be everyone’s favourites, but that’s what makes it real. We all make mistakes, overreact, jump to conclusions, and get a bit annoying. Doesn’t mean we ruin things or don’t deserve love.
This book made me cry. Which I hate, but I’ll forgive. For the most part fairly lighthearted and relaxing!
Not a lot of world building, which isn’t necessarily a fault, but I personally couldn’t always pinpoint a good visualization of where the story takes place.

Just like Book Lovers, I really enjoyed this one.
In terms of story, the two books were kinda similar: small town setting, both mc and love interest are at low points in their lives / struggling with trauma and have to find out how they can show up for each other. Which is cute.
And even though a lot of conflict hinged on miscommunication, it was well done and didn't seem contrived.

The characters are fleshed out, the romance is good (they actually have chemistry), I didn’t leave the book with unanswered questions (of what I can think of at least.
I read the uk version, but I would be very interested in reading the us one, as this is a book I could very much imagine myself rereading.
I’ve read this in the summer, and even though the book is taking place in the summer I think it would be a good read any time of the year.
