Thank you Pamela M. Kelley, Macmillan Audio, and St. Martin’s Griffin for my #gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was a sweet and simple summer-y read, but sadly it just didn’t give me what I needed it to. 

Thoughts:
-Focused on two sisters and their aunt dealing with their own issues in life as well as the sudden loss of their mother/sister, I was expecting an emotional read of grief and growth. I wish the grief aspect was explored in more than just one chapter 
-Unfortunately, both of the sister's storylines felt one-dimensional and the dilemmas they faced were wrapped up too neatly and quickly
-Hannah’s love felt forced and unneeded. It felt like it came out of nowhere and I felt no chemistry between the two. Individually they were fine characters, I just didn’t see them together
-Sara’s relationship with her husband irked me and I enjoyed reading about her standing up for herself, but the resolution seemed too easy 
-The setting definitely pulled me in with its beachy shores, bookshops, and coffee shops
-I did really enjoy the aunt and uncle's storyline. I wish the story focused more on them and dove into their relationship deeper

Overall, this wasn’t my favorite read, but it was giving all of the summer beach vibes.
