This was such a sweet and almost cozy read. Even with the heaviness of why the couple parted ways in the beginning this was still the type of story that kept me smiling from beginning to end. It was that good, soft kind of cheesy romance goodness. Dev was the best comedic relief and Lark Bay was a picturesque town. But holy smokes didn’t she stoke my fire with the possibility of Derrick of Bash, yes please and thank you! Second chance romance is usually not my jam but this was done in a way that was “realistic” like the reasoning didn’t feel contrite. It’s heavy on the internal monologue and while that got a touch repetitive at times, it was still a well paced book. Lower on the spice meter for sure more hallmark than Cinemax but super enjoyable.
