Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for this early release copy of A Wedding in the Lowcountry. I honestly picked up the book because the MMC went to Hampton and as an Hamptonian myself, I just had to get it. I really thought the premise was cute and I was really excited to read this one!
However, I was really left wanting so much more from this story. I am usually a slow-burn girlie, but my goodness this was the slowest pace I have ever read. Like there were times where the main character was insufferable, like Avila, he's a GOOD MAN! Like sis, pleaseeeee don't let the love of your life slip away!
I will say that Terance kept me reading the book. He definitely falls first and has the patience of a saint! He really saved the book for me. I also loved how Ebony kept pressure on her mom to do the right things, sometimes we need people in our lives like that. I would probably recommend this book to someone who might be trying to dip their toe into reading romances. It was a light and sweet story, but I wanted a little more depth and a bit more romance. Overall, it was an okay read for me.
