I loved both the present day and historical stories (maybe equally) which is so refreshing since usually one is written significantly stronger than the other. There was a twist toward the end that I didn't really like but other than that this was one of my favorite romance novels that I've read in awhile.

Okay there’s a bunch of great things about this book.
1. The banter is amazing
2. Phenomenal grumpy-sunshine!
3 a fantastic road trip journey
4. Really great wonky side trips
5. The resolution
But other things were so frustrating!
1. Millie is so frustrating with, what she says herself, is “willfull misunderstanding.” It’s too much, and it’s the WHOLE BOOK of her being like “hey this is how this person is acting” and then saying “but I’m sure they’re not being truthful/misleading me/im not understanding” and it really took me out of it (probably because I was listening?)
2. The third act breakup. I listened and things were going well with 1.5 hours left and I knew I was in for it. I really was so frustrated by how this all went down.
So yeah, overall really enjoyed but the things that didn’t work for me nearly overshadowed the fun and emotion.

I think the fact that I read this twice in a year speaks for itself. Hilarious, romantic, road trip fun — what more could you want?

If you like women’s fic OR romance with steamy sex scenes, a grumpy hero and sunshine heroine, and a sapphic historical subplot IN KEY WEST told through a dual timelines, which is literally all I want in a romance novel, READ MRS. NASH’S ASHES. TODAY.
