Thank you NetGalley, Pepper Basham, and Thomas Nelson Fiction for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

3.25 ⭐️

 

This book is a dual POV and follows Katie and Graeme. Katie is an American travel writer that became famous because of her “mis adventures” while traveling. Her job flew her to Scottland for a 3-week immersive Edwardian experience at Craighill House. There she meets Graeme, whose family owns the house where this experience is organized. At first, they do not like each other, but as they spend more and more time together, they start to realise that they have more in common that they originally thought. 

This was a very sweet book, the characters were so well written, you could see their unique personalities trough the page. Katie was very funny, and her story was so emotional, well Graeme’s was sad as well. And I truly think that the way Pepper Basham weeds their pain with healing was beautiful.

I do have to admit that I wasn’t too crazy about the mentions of church, God, and religion. In full honesty, had I known it would be such a big importance in the book, I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. though I know this is a me problem as an atheist and that it would be a big thing for others, I wanted to be honest about it.
The audio version of this book was great also, the narrators did an awesome job at the performances, and the male narrator's Scottish accent was incredible. So yeah, I recommend this book if you like your romcom a little more sad and healing, or Scottish.
