I enjoyed the opposite attracts story between Julian and Hallie and loved the wine country setting. The secret admirer notes mostly felt unnecessary cause they were doing fine without them. My major problem with this book is that both Julian and Hallie seem to think the only way through their emotional baggage is having another person be their anchor and I don’t really feel either of them learned to trust themselves and fully accept who they are individually. Like they only accepted their flaws once the other did and that doesn’t feel like a healthy message to send.
