I really liked this. It's one I'd feel comfortable recommending, there were some things to think about. Some things for ME to think about (might need to "private notes" some thoughts) even though it appears to be just a light beach read romance.

I'd snagged a physical copy somewhere (thrift store, LFL?) and got the audio and Kindle copy from the library. It is a popular, new release, so I did have a bit of a wait. I went almost exclusively with audio (narrator was great, matched perfectly), but I like having the text on hand. I did stop and highlight a couple things ("He keeps trying to lick my elbow."  ... that is SUCH a BlackhamBoy thing but I hadn't ever heard it happening anywhere outside of our house!)  There were more things I would have highlighted/made notes, it's just not always possible to stop while listening and find my spot in the text. There was an Author's Note - and the AUTHOR stepped in to voice that. I ♥ that, it makes it SO much more personal! Glad to have the text copies (physical/Kindle) because they had a Q&A with the author, and discussion questions that weren't in audio. I always appreciate little things that make me stop and think and delve a little deeper. 

Lots of DOG moments - lots of MOM moments. Her conversations with her mother reminded me a little of [book:North of Happy|27391973] ... "talking" to one who has passed away. Our MC is a professional organizer (a little reminiscent of [book:Snap Out of It|62000011] ... and a couple of things made me remember reading  [book:Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff|35540769] - the "pick 10 books to keep, sort into four piles ..." 

This had that ... supposed to be helpful and inspiring, but kindof just makes me feel worse about myself, moments ... that's a personal problem and I still enjoyed the book even with connecting to the worst parts, without the positives. 

No proFanity. Some sex, but pretty much closed door. 



I remember really enjoying Nora Goes of Script, I couldn't remember if I'd read Same Time Next Summer (I had, same time last summer ... liked it, but wrote in my review "I'm not sure I'll remember this ...).
