I really found the character insights of this book interesting, and I like what it had to say about grieving, growing, and accepting the good and the bad life has to offer. 

I found the romance parts a bit slow, and the story a but sparse outside of the ruminations, but I really liked those ruminations so I still feel pretty positively about it over all. 

Definitely was not a page turner for me, but I’m glad I read it and would def recommend to someone looking for a sweet lil beach read ;)

Dare I say my favorite contemporary romance read of 2024? Bonus points for it taking place in a beach town in West Michigan AND including a scene watching the sunset over Lake Michigan (aka my personal favorite pass-time). This felt like a breath of fresh air. Even with some of the cancer stuff hitting a little too close to home, this truly felt like an escape for me. I laughed. I cried (both happy and sad tears). I absolutely loved this. My personal perfect summer read.
