I am not sure why Bookstagram did not like this book? Was it my favorite Tessa book? No but I don't think it should've gotten such harsh reviews.  

I loved how Hallie and Julien knew each other once upon a time and they have a moment to reconnect. I mean it could be just me but its very very rare of me forgetting people that I had once known in the past but for Julien, Hallie did not look familiar and took him a bit to realize he knew her. 

I love that Hallie had some curves to her (as displayed on the cover) and it was something that Julien loved about her. Hallie was too nervous to admit to Julien that they almost shared a kiss when they were younger so she thought she would start living him love notes to find along the path he ran. Julien then began to fall for the author of the note while developing feelings for the gardener, obviously not realizing it was the same person. 

This is such an odd thing to compare this book to but there is an old episode of The Wonder Years where all the Arnold men would stare at their next door neighbor while she gardened. Perhaps Tessa was doing a binge watch of the old series?! 

I am excited for the next book in the series which will follow Natalie, Julien's sister who was quite the character in this!
