Well that was lovely ❤️❤️❤️. A romance novel that didn’t have me rolling my eyes the entire time.

I would give this book 4 stars, but certain aspects of it felt weird or wrong. Leo's behavior and the things he would say felt more appropriate for someone in their mid-twenties to late thirties, rather than a forty-year-old. The characters' decision to get married felt rushed and abrupt making the end of the book feel rushed. While I enjoyed the storyline, Leo not acting his age put a damper on the book for me. Nora's children were endearing, but their advice was too mature for their ages of 11 and 9.

This book was a great mix of women’s fiction and romance. The characters are older (39 year old FMC and 40 year old MMC). Nora is a romance movie writer (think Hallmark Channel) and Leo is the actor hired to play the main character in her movie. Nora is a divorced mom with two elementary-aged kids who really went through it with her ex-husband. So many books I read are about college students, so it was a nice change of pace to read about more mature characters who have experienced life.
Nora and Leo fall for each other really quickly, and their romance was easy and sweet. I wish we had gotten to see a little more of how they fell in love. It’s a short book, so it didn’t spend a ton of time on the “falling” part and moved quickly to “in love”. However, the book did not follow the typical romance book structure, and I wasn’t sure how it was going to end. I was hooked the whole time!

As a self-proclaimed aficionado of all cheesy Hallmark films, this was such a fun and sweet read that reminded me of so many I've watched in the last few years. Nora was a well-rounded character whose life was well thought out. So much so that at times, I forgot there were other important characters in the story.
My one and only gripe is that the ending happened far too quickly. There could have easily been another 2-3 chapters added and not a single reader would have complained!

Loved, loved, loved this book! The PERFECT summer beach read. I am a sucker for The Hallmark Channel so when the main character is a writer for a similar channel, I was sucked right in. I love the writing style, the characters, the setting...all of it. Loved it!
