I received an Advanced Listener Copy in exchange for my honest review.
Firstly this is my first Emily Henry book and narrated by Julia Whelan.
This book follows and brings up a lot of small-town romance tropes.
There’s a sexy carpenter who looks good in plaid, a small town business that needs saving, there’s a sleek City girl who’s feeling out of place in this small town. But I love how Henry points out all of these tropes and takes us down a different merry path.
Nora and Charlie has chemistry. Intense double-entendre heart-racing chemistry. Julian Whelan narrated their interactions so well, Charlie’s dry wit lands every time.
I love how they figure out how to love another person without compromising on who they are.
If Nora is the ice queen, her sister Libby is a rainbow princess in vintage dresses!
