I was looking for a wholesome comfort-read and was not disappointed. I love the Netflix series so I was very happy that I also enjoyed the first book of the series. The book had some similarities to the series but a lot was different, so it's worth reading the books too.
The book started out to be not as wholesome as I was expecting it to be but it changed quickly, with Mel settling in her new surroundings. I love the small town setting and seeing Mel lighten up through her work. I'm sure I would have enjoyed the book less if I haven't had watched the series. Some lines were very cheesy and I really don't need to read sex scenes between two teenagers. I still overall liked the book and flew through it.

It wasn’t a bad read- it was enjoyable at times. The description of women-sexually was a little awkward and made me cringe a bit. But I liked the story line. A woman moving to a small town to get away from something life altering and finding love in the most unsuspecting way. I did like the way it touched on loss and grief in the sense of moving on following a loved ones death- feeling guilty and like you couldn’t give your all to someone. 
There were a couple scenes between  14/16 year olds that was weird and I didn’t like the context in a more adult book.

I liked Mels perspective of falling in love with the town and being reflective. The sex scene between a 14 year old and a 16 year old felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. It ruined a lot of the enjoyment. The characters felt more developed in the tv show than the book. It was boring at times too. The description of people’s breast and specific number of their weight was weird and made me cringe.
