I received this ALC courtesy of NetGalley. I enjoyed this book for the first 30ish percent. Then it veered heavily down the road of aspiring to be a movie Candace Cameron-Bure would star in. For me that is not the vibe. The conflict between the main characters  was ridiculous and seemed selfish on the FMCs part especially carrying on all those years later. Also the whole town behaving the way they did? And the incident that lead to the climax? Ok then…
The audiobook narrator did a great job voicing every character but I wish they had also had a male narrator. I think it would have given more to the book.  
Overall if you enjoy hallmark movies and things like that you would enjoy this.
