I absolutely adored this story! After being left on her wedding day, Shay packs up moves to the one place that she couldn't wait to get away from.
When a family member dies and leaves Shay a farm, a requirement to live on the farm for a year and show proof of a marriage before she can claim what was left to her, Shay decides that she must go back to the small town of friendship to figure out what she wants in her life. When she arrives she's almost immediately faced with someone from her past and an offer she can't refuse.
Things I loved: both characters in the couple, Gennie, the town, the chemistry between the couple.
Things i wish there was more of: communication on what they were thinking. I wish the characters would've said what they were thinking a bit earlier. I also wished for more flashbacks of them being friends in high school that really nailed in just how close they were. Another thing was I couldn't really necessarily pin down Gennie's age. Her personality and the things she did and said felt contradictory and confused me with her age.
