Kind of a stereotypical rapunzel story with minimum character development but I did find myself intrigued and rooting for the characters. A nice smooth-brain read.

Honestly this is probably more of a four, but I’m not going to change my rating.
This was a reread to me and I still really enjoyed it. This story is a lot different than his other books(if you know you know) and I enjoyed that. The plot of this kept me engaged and I love a small town vibe. The romance was honestly whatever. Sparks male leads are all the same and have zero personality in my opinion. This does deal with some heavier topics. The middle of this did kind of drag which is why it’s closer to a four star. I also cried reading this which I don’t know if I did before so there’s that. I would say this is one of his better books and would recommend
