I just loved this. Well-written, fun, fits the genre without succumbing to its weak spots. Just emotional enough. There were a few times it started teetering towards too-tropey, but I felt like the author reeled that in in time. My one criticism would be the unrealistic lack of background characters... like are there really only 10 people living in that town? No, but the writing made it seem like that just a bit too much. One tertiary relationship conflict also seemed to resolve itself too quickly and conveniently. BUT, I wouldn't have made the book any longer, so. Anyway, I expect this to be made into a romcom movie at some point.
