4.0

Cassie uprooted her life and moved across the country to take care of her estranged mother. This meant changing fire departments, facing past hardships, and navigating the sexism of her new job. She expects the struggle of being a woman firefighter in a small town, but she doesn't expect to learn forgiveness and love. 

I continue to surprise myself by enjoying romance novels. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about this one, but it sucked me in. I became so invested in the love story, but I also loved seeing Cassie learn forgiveness and allow people to let her in.

For those who watch Station 19 and enjoy it, you'd like this novel! It reminded me of it in a lot of ways.
