Nora is an amazing literary agent - but fails in her love life. She's been left for other people's small town romances, and told she was cold and unfeeling. When her sister asks her to come on a babymoon with her to Sunshine Falls, she has to accept. Unfortunately, her enemy is there too, and they must work together to help her author finish her next great novel.
The good: What a fun read! The banter was on point and it was a breezy read like most romance novels. I loved that romance wasn't the only focus of the book, and that it also delved into her relationship with her sister. We see Nora, Charlie, and Libby are more complicated characters than I typically see in romance novels (not to say that's good or bad, it just drew me into the story more). It's also fun how much books fit into the lives of these characters and on the page.
The meh: This isn't didn't blow my mind, it was just an enjoyable summer read. I like to be smacked in the face by my books generally, but this was a nice break from that intensity.
The verdict: You will enjoy this book if you like small-town romance, books, banter, breezy reads, and sister relationships.
