This was a great contemporary novel. This is a small town romance with a bit of frenemies to lovers with a bit of a love triangle.

Sam has stayed away from her small hometown. She was tired of being looked at and teased because of her criminal father. When she comes to visit her new niece and then finds out her mom is sick, she decides to stay a little longer than planned. Even if it risks her job and has her running into her frenemy, Garrett, who also was the one who stood her best friend up before their wedding. 

But Sam and Garrett have always shared a bond of their fathers who have done wrong. They start to get closer but are at the risk of hurting two people close to them.

I just have to say, there are some real jerks in this town. I often found myself wanting to reach in and punch some people! But there are also such good people who have good advice for when the other tear them down. It just takes a lot of things to happen (including one very scary snowstorm and a small child) to make some of these people change their attitudes toward one another.
