I loved the Dual Timeline. I thought this was really well done. Will and Fern’s love story is so interesting and heartfelt. I loved how the characters deal with and learn about their grief and anxiety.
It was so interesting to weave in her mother’s journal and some of her story with Peter. The side characters were all wonderful.
The setting was just beautiful and I felt like I was wandering around the grounds for Brookbanks Resort.
This was so much more than just a summer rom-com. Truly unique storytelling and I was so invested in these characters. I couldn’t put the book down.
