I think…I fell in love with small town romance?
I think I fell in love with small town romance.
In a way.
I don’t like Savannah, I’ll tell you that much.
In this story, it goes from lovers to enemies to lover’s again, full circle. And honestly, with the way the MCs broke up ad teenagers, I believe it.
Again, I don’t like Savannah. Nor does Cristine get a pass either.
I’m still not sure about Olivia, though I strongly dislike the quirky best friend trope so my view on her is skewed. If she knew Kallie’s down was ever so traumatizing, why come back here? Same to Kallie. I’m just…lost on that. To be fair, I grew up in a small town and I was the only ahem lady of color outside my biological mother and a few who moved in and out.
But when I moved, even when I was at death’s door, even when I was in horrible situations—never did it occur to me to go back to that small town.
I’m so glad Kallie found happiness and Jacob finally fought for her. While I dislike pushy leads, in some instances I understood his need to push. Kallie did not deserve to grieve alone, but what she went through is very real and very personal to me.
While Jacob isn’t on my list of dream boyfriends (especially when he blames Kallie for him purposefully miscommunicating nor does he stop Savannah or Cristine from their talk), I think he and Kallie had a nice romance story.
I’m rereviewing my review and lowering my rate.
I had this at 4⭐️, but I’m changing my mind and going to 3 based on how angry I am at this entire small town and at the MMC. The amount of drama is just so…absurd to me. I’m now becoming perplexed how the FMC could still like someone let alone look at this man who was all hunky dory with his son and the “OW” when she was forced to birth a stillborn and mourn him alone.
Poor Kallie.
I do not care that Savannah has a book. Why on earth would I sympathize with her? And after reading the blurbs and reviews on the other books, I think it is safe to say Book 1 is my introduction and finale to this series.
