This book gives hallmark movie energy. At first I could not connect to the characters or the story to be honest. I really struggled with one of the mc’s being in a relationship for most of the book. I also hated the way the town treated the MMC. I definitely felt for him.
I will say once the danger ramped up and it started to leave hallmark movie territory. I really enjoyed the way it progressed from there.
All in all this was a cute story. If you’re looking for something light with low angst and a nice bit of escapism. This is a great read.
The audio was outstanding. The narrator was phenomenal.
Thank you Denise Hunter, Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio, and NetGalley for this book. I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
