ARC Review

This is a soft, MM small-town romance about identity and difficult family relationships. 

The premise is a son, Will, returns to sell the family apple farm after years of estrangement, only to find himself tangled up in both old memories and a new connection with Casey, the man now managing the farm.

Will was funny and adorably awkward. His journey — from anger and avoidance to healing and reconnection — was compelling and felt grounded. There are lovely moments of introspection, especially when Will and Casey allow themselves to be vulnerable with each other. I also liked that it takes time for the romance to develop — it’s quieter and character-driven, which I appreciated. All spice is closed door, just to note. 

That said, there were some drawbacks for me. The pacing was uneven in spots, and I had a harder time connecting to the central romance than I wanted to. I found myself more emotionally invested in the themes of family and personal growth than in the relationship itself. Perhaps having more insight from Casey’s POV would have helped. Still, this debut was a sweet read and I’d definitely pick up another book by this author.
