Pulled on the heartstrings, a great read, but not my favorite EH book (Beach Read is my fav. as of right now). If you're looking for some *spice*, you won't find too much here. If you're looking for a book that has the romance as the main plot, this isn't it. Though the banter is FANTASTIC. Charlie is snarky and witty and I really loved his and Nora's relationship. Nora is also great, after you get past her dragon-lady wall. She truly does have a heart and cares SO much for her little sister, often to the point of being too selfless.

This is primarily about two sisters being on vacation in a small town. The lackluster and frustrating parts in this book were the sister. As an older sister, I really felt for Nora- the protectiveness towards a younger sister, wanting what's best for her, hurting when she is hurting, feeling a desire to become close again. Libby provides a lot of younger sister drama, a lot of which left me rolling my eyes at the lack of communication. 

Honestly, I loved a lot of this book, but the last like, 20% (aside from the Epilogue) removed half a star for me.
