I did enjoy this book both for the plot and for the scenery (since I’m a local to Carmel), but there were a few things that gave me pause.

1. In more than one place I found the author had either changed a characters name or used the wrong character name. Made me wonder if my copy was an ARC - but it wasn’t marked as such.

2. For a woman who spent so much time focused on how much she wanted equality for all, Sarah sure fell for Robert pretty fast despite his racist views of the world. I found that extremely disappointing.

3. The ending happened reallllllly fast. We had this whole build up for like 3 pages of action to wrap it all up.

But again, overall it was a fun read and I wanted to go live in this version of Carmel.
