4.0

This debut novel was a delight to read! The characters were relatable, the description of the location was dreamy, and the MCs being a musician and a songwriter was a unique twist!

Our FMC, Hannah, was strong-willed and stopped at nothing to achieve her dreams. Our MMC, Rory, definitely had some growing to do throughout the book, but Shannon achieved this in such a vulnerable, compelling way, it made me endear his character greatly!

There were some unanswered questions in my mind, which is why it's 4 stars and not 5, but over all this was a great debut, very enjoyable and sweet.
