This sophomore novel was amazing. The dual time and past journal entries all flowed together and gave this second chance romance the perfect timeline. 

I loved the meet cute in this story. The day that Will and Fern spend together is perfect and made me want to visit Toronto again. I just loved how they clicked.

But I also loved a the resort she grew up at. The Dirty Dancing nods and vibes were everything I didn't know I needed. 

Just like her debut novel Fortune handles the topics of grief in such a special way. She doesn't overly dwell on it but it isn't glossed over either. I loved how organically the conversations came up and how maturely most things were handled. 

I loved the romance between Will and Fern too. It wasn't an easy one. They both had a lot of personal issues to work through but I loved how they eventually processed through everything. I really do love the relationships where work is put  in to make them work.

I loved the overarching themes of the importance of family in this book and also that family doesn't have to be strictly traditional.

I will warn you that I needed Kleenex handy for this book - but in a good way since in my experience only 5 star books make me cry.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
