What starts off as a meeting between two strangers during golden hour - the time frame right when the sun hits everything with its golden light - turns into an often funny, sweet and romantic love story in Love at First
Will has recently acquired his deceased uncle's apartment unit. Will wants nothing to do with the apartment unit, the people who live there or any memory of his uncle. Will is busy - he is an emergency physician after all and wants the unit off of his hands ASAP. With some urging, will decides to flip the unit and sub-lease it. And that's where Nora comes in.
Nora has so many fond memories associated with her current apartment. She spent many summers there with her late nonna and the apartment complex tenants have become more of a family to her. So when an outsider - Will - comes in talking about change and sub-leasing the apartment, Nora isn't having it. What starts off as a feud between the two, slowly turns into something more.
I loved this book so much. Kate Clayborn has a way of writing her books that just gets to me. The story in Love at First revolved around Will and Nora, but it was also so much more than that. It was about sharing their history and how it shaped them to who they are. It was about second chances and the choices that we make when faced with hard decisions. It was about two people coming together because they end up meaning so much to each other.
I don't think I'm doing this review justice, but just know that I absolutely adored Love at First and I can't wait to go back and re-read my favorite parts.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher
