Forgot how cute a closed door romance can be! #hitchmetowitry is adorable. 
Very invisible string vibes!

I liked this book, but there was somethings I couldn't get over. 
Luli was so annoying. Like we get it Meredith didn't answer your funny little snapchats, but you do remember her sister just died in a horrific accident not too long ago, right?
Wit should have told Meredith that he knew Claire way sooner than he even mentioned trying I don't care if he thought she knew. 
Wit and Meredith being that attached after knowing each other max 48 hours. Like please bffr.



Crying score: none

Took me a long time to get past the first few chapters. Loved the characters and story line. Very similar to the last book I happened to read. I think it was well written because it made me cry (more than once). My dream is to own land and have summers like the family did in this book. Super cute and I enjoyed how quick and easy it was to read once I got into it

I don't know why I didn't give this book five stars! It had all the potential! I loved the couple, I loved the backstory, I loved the sideline characters.... I guess, to quote Abby Lee Miller "You were good, I'm waiting for you to be great." because that's what it felt like to me. This book could've been higher rated, but I felt like the writing style was cringey at times and it had the potential for an amazing book and it ultimately fell flat. I still enjoyed it, but I think I would've enjoyed it more if it had a sequel or something.

It good book about healing and finding yourself again after a huge lost. Its funny, lovable and nice. But also do not completely avoid the topic of losing someone that you love so much. Because grief its a hard emotion that sometimes can bring a lot of happier memories and get his and sometimes its just pure excruciating pain. And that why I like this book .OF bringing the hope that can be better and you do not have to forget about some but honor him. And finding yourself again after losing everything. And I love the concept of the gaim. And the whole family that is so close to each other. And I absolutely fall in love with the place in the book.

The 2 main characters are so adorable together - the romance isn't cringe or overly spicy. I feel like sometimes it does get a bit repetitive,
especially when Meredith keeps talking about how she misses her sister or how this reminds her of this, but overall it is just true to her character.
 
I wrote 'it's complicated' for 'is the cast of characters is diverse' because only the background characters are unique. Meredith and Wit are quite stereotypical, but they are still written well. 
Also, the Taylor Swift references weren't as prominent as I was expecting - there could always be more ;) But whenever I saw them, it just really lifted the book ✨
