I loved this book. I'm a big fan of romances in which lonely people find love and community, and this book gave me that.
Ry hasn't had an easy life and never had anywhere he could really call home. When he inherits a house from a grandfather he never knew he had, he's already homeless and couch surfing, and decides to move to the middle of nowhere. Unfortunely for him, the house is a disaster and not fit for habitation. So he makes his way to the hardware store where he meets Charlie, the brother of one of the protagonists from the book before this one (though they can easily be read as standalones). Charlie is lonely, has a hero-complex, and has been so focused on just surviving and fulfilling other people's needs over his own since his parents died when he was 18, in that he now has no idea what he himself even wants or likes. Ry teaches him how to want things for himself.
I really liked the dynamic between the characters, and the cats!! So many cats!!
