The perfect fall romance read. This book had all the 90s small town a la Gilmore Girls vibes you could ask for. The characters are endearing and journey is such a fun one. I loved the complexity of the characters and their relationships with their families. I am not usually drawn to romance novels where one of the characters have children but this worked so well. I can’t wait to read more from Julie Olivia! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkeley Romance for this ARC in return for an honest review.
