This book was impossible to put down! I found myself up reading until 3am because I was so entranced in the book! The characters are very lovable, but have some obvious flaws that they work to resolve. The romantic couple was pretty predictable but the grumpy/sunshine trope was done perfectly and there were some twists and turns that still kept the reader on their toes. The use of alternating POVs between Piper and Brendan adds another very interesting dimension and depth to their connection, which elucidates the tensions in their relationship.

Such a sweet, light-hearted romance filled with a lot of character development, reconnecting with lost family members, and finding where one truly belongs.
