In Whisked Away by M. Colette, high-end pastry chef, Ellie Thompson, returns to her coastal hometown of Dove Point to mend her broken heart and find clarity between the bustling city life of New York and the peaceful small town she left behind. There, she reconnects with Rowan Williams, her childhood best friend (and owner of a local brewery), who's been quietly carrying a torch for her all these years. As old feelings bubble back up, Ellie and Rowan have to decide if they're ready to take a second chance on something that could be worth everything.
This book was so sweet. If you love a good friends-to-lovers story, give this one a read! Ellie and Rowan dated during and right after high school, but after Ellie took a great opportunity on the other side of the country, distance eventually got the best of them. I loved that Rowan supported Ellie no matter what, and didn't want to come between her going after her personal dreams. And Ellie was the same toward Rowan. It was fun to get to see them work through that and finally get the courage to try to make it work again after almost 10 years apart.
The friend group in this book had a really fun dynamic. Their dialogue and banter was amusing, and felt like a real group of friends. Overall, I enjoyed all aspects of this book. It was a very low-stress, feel-good read.
Some Favorite Quotes:
"When I didn't see any stars, I'd just look at the moon, wondering if you were looking at it too. And if we were looking at it together." (Ellie to Rowan)
"I will love you on the days you can't love yourself. I will believe in you when you feel hopeless. I will pick you up and never let you fall. Don't let anything try to dim the light that you shine into people's lives..." (Rowan to Ellie)
