If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia
4.0

This was such a great cozy fall book for me to read at the end of the summer. I adored the town, the characters, and the side characters meddling; it was all so much fun. 

I am always going to like the dynamic of a black cat and a golden retriever main character. Cliff breaking down Michele's walls was so heart-warming to watch. I loved the relationship that Michele created with his kids as well. And Michele growing to love the town made my heart so happy.

I do wish there was more Cliff and Michele romantically, it felt like I ended wanting more in that aspect. But overall, a fun read and a GREAT fall, cozy vibe read. And the timeline taking place in the 90s was also fun and different from what I have been reading lately.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an eARC in a copy in exchange for an honest review.
