This is one of those books that you pick up for a fun time and end up getting so much more. A truly beautiful story that touched every part of my soul. How can a book written by someone who doesn’t even know you have so many parts of you in it?! That’s the magic of reading and this story reminded of that.

On the surface this is a second chance romance between Harriet and Wynn who now have to pretend they are still together to save their friends’ vacation. And the love is definitely felt through the pages and they were the main force driving me to turn the pages. But it was also about friendship & family and trusting the important people in your life to keep loving you through the hard times and all of the changes life brings. About allowing relationships to evolve. And about finding your own happiness.

It has that lighthearted rom-com feeling, but prepare for some hard hitting emotional moments too. There were moments that tore up my heart and took a few crying breaks. But it’s so worth it in the end. Rest assured that there’s an HEA!
