Laura has such an idealized idea of love, which makes her feel like a cookie cutter romcom fmc for me. She's dimwitted about what's right in front of her, but her romantic journey is still entertaining. I had fun with the taxi and suitcase escapades, even if the outcome felt predictable. More intriguing than who she'll end up with is her family story that unravels throughout the book in Laura's own recounting, old letters between her parents, and meeting her father's family as well as the tales her grandmothers and great-aunt can relay. The family story without the romance plot would likely be a slog to get through, though, without more drama added. Seeing the island of Jersey through Laura's eyes is also beautiful.

Even though this boom took me nearly a year to complete, every time I picked it up I got pulled into story and lost the plot. The main characters are well developed and struggling with their own personal conflicts while still finding a connection with each other. There's a slight family mystery that surprised me and all the side characters are memorable and well thought out. This romance had everything I wanted and more. Would recommend to everyone
