Like all of Katherine Center's books, this book had an amazing feel-good vibe to it. I thought the plot was a little small but the overall theme of the book was just so amazing.
Sam Casey works as a librarian at an elementary school. She has so much for her school and colleagues because they helped her blossom into her true self and help her get over past experiences. But when the beloved principal dies, who will step in and continue making the school a great place for learning? Sam's old crush, Duncan Carpenter. Except, he's not the fun loving guy she used to know. He's closed off and cynical and obsessed with school safety. So her and her colleagues design a plan to get him back to his old self while Sam learns about her own self and letting people in.
