You know the Hallmark tropes of city slicker going to small town USA, falling in love, and dumping their Type A Exec girlfriend for the home town gal? Nora is the girl that gets dumped. Not once, not twice, but FOUR times! This is her story.
Pros:
Deep characters
Delves into difficult topics
Not your typical meet-cute RomCom
Highlights that different doesn’t mean wrong or unneeded.
Cons:
A bit too many F*bombs (53)
Really that was my biggest turn off! Sometimes they were warranted or could be looked over, but overall felt excessive.
Also be aware, that it IS open door romance. The scenes weren’t excessive or overdone and fit the story well.

Spoiler
I wasn't quite sure if I should put "Chronic Illness" or not, but this warning is in regards to Charlie's father who I believe had a stroke (it's been a little bit since I read this lol) and was wheelchair bound.Spoiler
Something else I will mention is that there is mild to moderate estranged parent mentions. It is mentioned that Nora and Libby weren't old enough to remember their father by the time he left. It's also mentioned that Charlie's father in the book is actually not his bio dad. Just a couple things to keep in mind if estranged parent mentions are triggering for you!taylorleilani's review against another edition
