Delighted to read one of my @thebookresort books in the month I received it. This is an easy going, feel good read. It’s one girl, living with 3 boys and she is trying to help them with a “boys to men project”. She works in a centre for older people and this provides plenty of entertainment in the book too. We all know where it ends up. It was perfect antidote for some other heavy books I had on the go at the same time.

Started this thinking it would last me the week, ending up not being able to put it down and finishing it in a day - it was unexpectedly compelling! Not TOO cliche that it was overly predictable, but chick-lit enough that it was what I was wanting/expecting. The romance side of it also didn’t eat up the entire story, which was nice, and I found myself super invested in all the various storylines, hence why I stayed up well past my bedtime to finish it. A good story with good characters that isn’t trying to be something it’s not; if you like a chick-lit, this is a must read.

When her life gets complicated, Jessie moves in with her twin brother, Isaac, and his two best friends. Trouble is, one of those friends is a boy whom Jessie once loved before a terrible accident changed his life forever - an accident Jessie blames herself for.
This is a nice 'coming home' story with the addition of lots of eccentric pensioners to make you smile. I only hope I can get up to half as much trouble when I am their age!
I couldn't quite give a full five stars because I often found the antics of Isaac and his friend Arthur a tad annoying. I'm not sure I would have had Jessie's patience in dealing with them, but then I don't have siblings to cope with so who knows? - maybe I would have had the patience of a saint?! Anyway, I would have liked to read more interaction between Jessie and Elliot rather then Isaac and his friend.
All faults aside, still a good read!

Weird - loved the side characters but found the main characters jarring and slightly repetitive

I adored this one. Its a heartwarming feelgood read. Yes, there is romance (although very slow burn) and some very funny moments. But it is also about adapting to a new life/situation, dealing with guilt and getting a second chance. Definitely worth the read and i wouldn't mind reading more books about Jesse, Elliot, the outlaws and their friends and family.

I got this arc in exchange for an honest review.
