3.5 ⭐️ I originally felt like this was moving really slow for the first 60%ish. But I really appreciate the way the story from the early 1940s tied into the 2020 story and how all the characters stayed pretty much consistent throughout. I saw the need for a love story, especially for Libby, but Libby and Colton are 3rd-4th cousins since Edward Carter and Malcom Carter were cousins. Other than that, it was a cute story
