This is a super sweet romance with the added depth of grief, healing, and finding yourself. It was so beautiful to see Grace start to heal, forgive herself, and learn who she is without the influence of others. She was so much stronger than she gave herself credit for. 

Caleb is a golden retriever single dad, and the chemistry was there from the start. Noelle is so freaking adorable and I loved her relationship with Grace. There are so many fun side characters, and the small town is the perfect setting. I really liked the work they did with the shelter.

The whole thing moves fast though. It did feel insta love but I also found the time jumps confusing. I struggled to get my head around the time frame. 

The third act conflict added some drama, but I thought the forgiveness was given way too quickly. They barely had a conversation, just one sentence, and they were fixed. The end was super adorable though.
