This was nice! It was quite trope-y in a great way. I liked the development of the relationship.
Specifically on that point, I really liked the beginning part after they got over their differences how they were in a period of not dating but they kind of knew they were into each other and the whole town knew too. I liked being secure in the knowledge that they would eventually get together and there would be a happy ending.
I appreciated the topics covered in the book as well, like the perils of certain fishing trades. If you like the show Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha on Netflix, you will like this. If you like this, you will probably like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. It's a lot of the same kind of stuff.
