If It's Meant to Be by Lily Seabrooke

5.0

This first entry into Lily's new series gave me all the feels. As is often the case with the dialogue in Lily's writing, I found myself laughing out loud at the banter between the characters. The attraction between Emberlynn and Aria is palpable from the start, and only intensifies as their feelings for one another grow. The "will they/won't they" aspect of the story doesn't feel forced or contrived, but rather like two people who really care for and love each other so much that they're afraid to say what they really want for fear of keeping that other person from pursuing their dreams. As the title suggests though, if it's meant to be then it will happen. The supporting characters are great as well, in particular Paisley, Aria's sister and Emberlynn's best friend, as she is just the right amount of quirky. I'll certainly never think of lighthouses the same way again.

If you enjoy small town romances and the "my best friend's sister" trope, then do yourself a favor and give this book a read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
