This book was absolutely magnificent. Millicent Watts-Cohen was a delightful FMC and Hollis was the perfect contrast. I was laughing throughout the story as well as getting incredibly emotional. I loved the interwoven flashbacks of Mrs. Nash's and Elsie's story and how it connected to Millie and Hollis. There were so many heartfelt moments. I also really loved Millie's optimism; I felt like I related to her in those ways and it was great to see that in a fictional character. It was also the perfect mix of grumpy-sunshine and Hollis was just the right amount of cynical. This book was heartwarming, inspiring, and wholly sentimental and it really brought out so many feelings. I didn't fully know what to expect going into this, but it was so much more than a cute rom-com and I loved it so much. Huge thank you to Berkley for sending me an e-ARC to read and review!
