Thank you to the publisher for my egalley of this title, all opinions are my own!
What an absolute delight this story was! While yes, there is a love story in it, they was so much more to it. I loved the setting, the growth we saw from the characters, the banter between elderly Georgina and young Kelsey, and more. Not only did we get to see a 30 something main character (which I love, because I feel that 20 something's are overdone these days), but we got to witness Georgina's heart and priorities change, too. The themes of hope, forgiveness, and starting over at any age were so beautifully fleshed out.
The love story in this book was swoon worthy without steam, and I loved it. The tension was well executed, the characters were very sweet with one another, and I loved the lack of miscommunication - aka the reason for the worst third act break ups in history! These adults communicated well, were respectful, and realistic - three things I rarely see bundled into one story.
I took off one star because I desperately wanted an epilogue, but other than that - adored this book and cannot wait to read more from Courtney Walsh!
