A cute marriage of convenience book with sweet characters. Only 3.25 stars because of excessive unnecessary drama, annoyingly insecure characters, and not enough spice.

this has the perfect ratio of pining + romantic interactions and that is why i would always disagree with the current discourse that contemporary romance novels shouldn’t be longer than 300 pages. i like to savor the slow burn; and characters are more fleshed out this way

I’ve seen a lot of ⭐️⭐️ star reviews that point out similar things. I wasn’t a fan of the pacing of the book and how the story was stretched. Honestly this could have been 200 pages less and still had the same impact. There were also hints at plot or story that was never addressed or the author forgot about. Unpopular option was that I didn’t like the niece. The cussing got on my nerves…a 6 years old curing like a pirate. No ma’am. I wish Shay had more faith in herself instead of constantly belittling herself after something good happened. It was almost too depressing to read, and annoying. This is just my personal opinion as I know this is a highly rated book.

marriage of connivence trope 
friends to lovers
single parent

I absolutely adored this story! After being left on her wedding day, Shay packs up moves to the one  place that she couldn't wait to get away from. 
When a family member dies and leaves Shay a farm, a requirement to live on the farm for a year and show proof of a marriage before she can claim what was left to her, Shay decides that she must go back to the small town of friendship to figure out what she wants in her life. When she arrives she's almost immediately faced with someone from her past and an offer she can't refuse. 

Things I loved: both characters in the couple, Gennie, the town, the chemistry between the couple. 
Things i wish there was more of: communication on what they were thinking. I wish the characters would've said what they were thinking a bit earlier. I also wished for more flashbacks of them being friends in high school that really nailed in just how close they were. Another thing was I couldn't really necessarily pin down Gennie's age. Her personality and the things she did and said felt contradictory and confused me with her age.
