I thought this book was a delight. I had a good time reading it. Beckett was my favorite. I thought him and Evelyn was adorable.

Evie and Beckett are interestingly better together than apart. I do like them as characters and surprisingly, a bit more mature than most than I’ve read in awhile. The 3rd act separation was merely an ick for me that could have been solved without a disappearance. I do love how tender and loving they are to each other without realizing. It makes their love beautiful and genuine. The mental health rep in the book was done with so much care and thoughtfulness, it highkey made me tear up. The townspeople, duck and cats will always have my heart in small town romances & they are the reason I did not DNF LOL.
Will be reading the next one! (:

i may have liked this book more than the first book. BUT! i really wish there was more... uhmph. the entire plot can be summarized as big ol' miscommunication. i wished there was more. that being said, it was still a very fun and cozy read.
i adored beckett porter and evelyn st. james so much. his grumpy to her sunshine was done so well.
their chemistry, tension and slow burn was crazy good, especially since they had already had a steamy two-night stand months prior.
Maybe this is what happy is supposed to be. A person, a place. A single moment in time.
the author depicted beckett's challenges with noise sensitivity and social anxiety with care and compassion. i loved how even though evie was wiling to help him navigate his challenges, he made the effort himself to work on them as well for himself.
i also really liked how even though evie struggled to redefine her vision of success and happiness because of extreme burnout – despite how long she worked in the content creation scene (~10 years) – she never gave up on finding her true happy and leaned on those closet to her.
also can i say how much i loved the residents of this small town?? they're all so funny and caring. my favorite scene was definitely the rowdy themed trivia night at the bar. it's safe to say, i love inglewild and their loud, but caring and charming, residents – i never wanted to leave!!
