Probably the most painful in the series for me to read. It felt like an after-school special with teenage bullying. One part teenage problems, one part teacher falling in love with a doctor.
Having the teenage POV in a romance novel really doesn't work for me 99% of the time and this book is no different. It didn't add anything except filler and felt out of place. I'd much rather have read about the adults figuring out what's going on while falling in love.
I think this is my last Sweet Magnolia's book. The audiobooks are a quick listen, but they're really dragging my rating average down! :(
2 Stars because it's not a poorly written book in technique, just really...boring in content. And the dialogue never feels natural in this series of books.
There are plenty of readers who love this series and I'm glad it exists for them. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me.
