I am a huge lover of fluffy romance books, but this novel just seemed to fall flat. It relied heavily on tropes of the busy businesswoman forced to return to her small hometown only to fall in love with a relaxed young man. While that would be fine on its own, the thing that truly peterbed me was the insertion of an abusive relationship. These plots can be difficult to write and integrate well, and it truly fell flat in this novel. The abusive relationship functioned more as a fanciful side story without shedding light on positive resources, true effects, or any sort of tact. The sole redeeming factor of this book was the nuanced portrayal of a love story through the grandmother character. Her sections felt lovely, comforting, and real.
