Thank you so much to NetGalley, Meredith Schorr & Forever for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This will be published on June 7th.

"Love isn't always easy, but hard doesn't necessarily equal bad."

Adina is in her 20s, lives at home with mom, works multiple jobs, single and just trying to navigate life in New York City. She works part time as a spin instructor, barista and freelances for a magazine called Tea. She is constantly trying to prove herself to her editor Derek. She came up with a story idea of going to a small town that is being "threatened" by a rich businessman who is trying to revitalize the town. Adina's only knowledge of small towns is those she sees in Hallmark movies. Pleasant Hollow isn't anywhere she has ever been before. Any route she took with her article turned into dead ends. One thing she did not expect was to fall in love. More importantly, falling in love with someone who was not from the small but from the city.

I thought this book was super cute! It definitely gave me the Hallmark vibes. It did get me excited for the holiday movies to start appear for Christmas in July.

I love the relationship that Adina had with her mother and her best friend Kate. I especially loved her relationship with Finn and how supportive he was with her article. I actually was not expecting spice, thought it was going to be closed door but to my surprised there was a little.

This book started off a little slow for me. I also was under the weather so that could have played a role but once we got to the meat of it all, I was fully invested and wanted to see how Adina made out with her article. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a friends to lover, smalltown feels, fan of Hallmark/Lifetime movies and of course those who love a HEA.
