wow. I’m not sure if I’ve ever cried so much reading a romance novel? but also I’m very sick so I think that might be a key player here.
Okay, from the beginning I was loving it. Then, it was VERY slow moving in the romance aspect (and I mean V E R Y slow) and I was wondering if this was going to be a disappointing read after all. Especially when it did start hinting at romance it felt ABRUPT. I was CONCERNED because I felt it came out of nowhere. But then, it went back to being as it was before, very slow hahahah 
But! I love this book! The characters all feel very real to me. Their issues feel real. The conflict feels real. I loved the friendship and found family aspect in this book probably more than anything else. But I loved it all!
I loved seeing Sadie face her fears and open up her own business…and then take it further and open up a STOREFRONT!
I loved the flower talk because I loved flowers.
I loved her supportive friends that encouraged her to get back in therapy when they could see her struggling. I loved watching Jack slowly (very, very slowly) open up. I loved how Sadie because his inspiration to paint again and they both brought so much joy to each other’s life. 
The relationship between Nick and Harley made me so happy as well. And I loved the thanksgiving scenes.
 

Also I’m happy I loved this book bc now I can buy it and see this gorgeous cover on my shelves
