My first and last Lucy Score (because after reading this there’s no way I’m reading anything even longer). I found Silas to be insufferable and like the kind of jerk who seems nice on the surface but is really just subtly controlling? It’s insta-love in the worst way, Silas literally sees Maggie and immediately starts referring to her as his future wife. I kept reading because of the mystery of the house renovation plot line, and not the romance.

Not enough of the dog (who is described as brindle in the book so…). The best character is a curmudgeonly towns person.

Dual pov but there’s only one narrator 😕
4/5 🌶️
