THOUGHTS 💭 
💟 As I was reading this story, I was reminded of Sweet Home Alabama! Country girl turned city girl returns to her small town to get her husband to sign divorce papers so she can marry another man.
💟 “It’s always been you” has never applied more aptly to a book; Maisie is Warren’s past, present, and (hopefully) future and he’s never wanted anyone else. It’s a sweet, slightly obsessed kind of love.
💟 Warren gives himself only 7 days to convince Maisie that she belongs with him; I loved the sweet, thoughtful ways he used to lure her back to him (despite her having a fiancé back in NYC).
💟 The entire family is invested in getting Maisie to fall back in love with Warren; it was fun getting to know all of them and I can tell this is going to be a series where family/found family is important.
💟 The chemistry between these two is absolute 🔥.
💟 The artwork scattered throughout this book is everything. I loved seeing the scenes I just read in illustrated form.

Thanks so much to Brooke Montgomery for the ARC of this book!
