Any book that mentions Beautiful British Columbia by name — and calls Tofino the most beautiful place in the world — is a winner in my books. I could of lived without the alcoholic tendencies mentioned on every single trip. My least favourite of her 3 rom-coms but still very enjoyable.

Wow. What a story. I felt there were a lot of things I connected to, despite the historical time period and gender and nationality of the main character. I was enthralled by the story. Great writing.

Holy shit, I finished a book. AND, holy shit this book was dark but I loved it. Loved the age gap romance and the two main characters. Surprises galore. Did I mention it was dark? Check out the content warnings for sure. I will be reading more of this author.
