Wow this was terrible. The entire book felt forced and the pacing was totally off. The language used to describe the setting and characters was cheap and cheesy. I almost set this book down to not finish multiple times because the descriptions were so trashy.

I am a sucker for anything set in Western North Carolina. The author captured the magic and character of a small town in Western NC perfectly, I can picture Galway as the town next door. 
A book full of helpers and “salt of the earth” kinds of people. More of this! 
MMC is a therapist - (and great great representation of the field) and FMC is finding herself after a windfall of money and a hard life up to that point. 

The author doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, but weaves real-world problems into this fictional little town nicely. 

The side characters make the story and setting a place I want to spend a little more time- please tell me we get to hear July’s story next!
