This was a very sweet and heartwarming tale. I loved the small town vibes, the café, and all the quirky characters. I loved the relationships that slowly developed, especially between Anna Kate and Natalie, who had both gone through similar losses. While I felt like some of the family reconciliation,

especially Seeley's pretty quick and uncharacteristic about face

seemed a little too unbelievable and quick, it didn't stop me from wishing I could drive down to Wicklow for some blackberry pie, sweet tea, and conversation.
