This made my 90s heart so unbelievably happy. It filled me with so much nostalgia, and made me miss those times so much more. It pulled me right in and honestly it made me want to live in Copper Run. Michelle and Cliff’s story pulled at all of my heart strings. It was full of banter, and tension, and the slow burn between them was so perfect. Not only did we get to read about them, but little pieces of their own families and the whole town, and it just really made me feel all of the emotions. It had me kicking my feet and feeling all giddy, laughing out loud and even crying. The last few chapters especially had my emotions all over in the best way. It really wish it was a movie, so I could add it to my 90s comfort ones and be able to re-watch it whenever I wanted.
