Oh my gosh I’m in love. 

With this book, with the MC, with the love interest, with his daughter, with the Nantucket beach summer… everything about this book was just beautiful. 

I absolutely loved the thread of choices and reflection through this book. Val is exhausted and burnt out by her corporate life and is looking to take care of her health and rediscover herself. And that hits hard. I feel like we’ve all been there, we’ve all gone through something similar, and seeing her make the hard choice and blossom throughout the book as she finds herself is so beautiful. The moment she hopped back on that bus I was cheeeering for her. 

Her relationship with the MMC is a slow grow and slow burn and I love the was she just slides into his life like she was meant to be there. The contrast between her two love interests is stark and I appreciate the way it so appropriately mimics her past and hopes for the future. Her choice between them and between her job prospects moving forward just feel so mirrored and I love her realizations about it. 

Luna is an absolute joy and I loved the importance of her character. She’s not just the love interests child - she’s her own person, part of the story, and an individual, which I feel gets missed a lot in single parent stories. 

Overall, this is such a cute romance and you should read it. It feels so classic New England summer and I love it.
