I just adored this book. I was not a huge fan of [book:Same Time Next Summer|62562931], so I went into this book a little warily, but I was immediately very into Nora as a character - so no-nonsense, so dedicated to being the best mom possible, so firm in her conviction that she shouldn't want someone who didn't want her. I loveeeddd the kids, and the tea house felt so real and fully realized. Leo is a great leading man - of course a little unrealistic in terms of his level of perfection, but also flawed enough that it felt believable to me that he and Nora would end up together. I loved the arc of Nora's career, and the twists and turns in her relationship with Leo made sense to me. This one made me so happy!
