Although I think I prefer the first novel, I also greatly enjoyed this. It's so wonderful to find romance novels with older characters. Why don't we have more romance with women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s? This perspective felt so refreshing. 

I love the universe of Tanria and was happy to see more of it here. It's very slice of life meets a classic friends to lovers romcom. Watching Twyla learn to set boundaries and Frank's soft and open communication style was incredibly satisfying. They compliment each other so well and the ending is perfection. This breaks the mold of your typical happily ever after in a way that I adored. Let's normalize not all relationships looking exactly the same!
