I had a hard time rating this. By the ending I was in happy tears, and I thoroughly enough the ambiance of it all. However… The second half of the book was good and the last 1/4 was even better, but I had a hard time liking the main character at first because of how she treated the love interest and the other two extremely unlikely characters in the book rubbed me the wrong way. And one of them were supposed to magically forgive and understand. I honestly loved this book but the character flaws were too big in a bad way to make this a 5* book for me.
