The beautiful cover of this book caught my attention when I saw it on NetGalley (although it is not the same cover as shown at the time of this review). Then when I saw it was a Bookouture book, I was drawn in even further. They are a new favourite publisher to me. And then to top that, I read the synopsis and I was a in! I was pleased when I was given the opportunity to read it! I had never read a Cate Woods book prior to this one but I am a new fan now!
A "feel-good love story" that is "gorgeous, heart-warming novel about starting over" without a doubt! I liked the main character, Nell, right away and was excited, although also sad for her loss, to see where this adventure, arranged by her best friend Megan, took her. I followed along with anticipation, humour, frustration, embarrassment, sadness (yes, I shed a quite a few tears) while Nell discovered a new world where she can be her real self!
The storyline was well done, easy to read and pulled me in right from the start. I was able to "see" the beautiful scenery and felt as if I was on vacation with Nell. Sometime while I was reading the book, I looked up the general location in hopes that I could go with my family one day! When I read the last pages, I was disappointed that the story of Nell had come to an end but what a great finish (there were more tears on my part). I was so pleased to find out that this will be a series. I can't wait!!

Read this one!! I recommend it!

Great job, Cate Woods and Happy Publication Day on May 12, 2021!

Thanks very much to Bookouture and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book and to add a new to me author to my favourite list!!
