I felt this was a bit twee for my tastes. I also felt conservative politics being snuck in or maybe my women's rights dander got triggered....a teenage pregnancy where the woman doesn't even consider an abortion? Not my president. 

I picked this up because I knew it had to do with octopus and after reading it, I wish there had been more octopus. 

I went through a blip where I read like 14 Debbie Macomber books cloistered around a little yarn shop in Seattle and this book picked up with incredible Macomber aplomb to carry on the 'Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world'-Hallmark- cozy women-'Will she ever find love again in this busy world?'- family comes first-spend time with your grandparents before they're gone torch. 

I didn't hate it, it was in a defined lane. I wouldn't recommend it.
