I'm a huge sucker for Wedding venue romances, so this book was perfect. It was so adorably sweet, but still had substance to the story. 
Loved how it had an enemies to lovers feel, even if they were never actually enemies, maybe more Hate-at-first-sight. RJ and Lears first meeting was absolutely horrendous (and Lear was a total jackass) but learning more about them they were so perfectly matched and the chemistry between them was so lovely.

Sarah Dessen is really good about writing about difficult family dynamics.
I really enjoyed reading this, I enjoyed Sydney. She was a very passive but looking at the family dynamics she was raised in her brothers shadow and said many times she felt invisible, so I think she was written very well even if I didn't always agree with what she decided to do. I Loved the Chathams, I wish we got a bit more with Mac because he was lovely. 
My biggest issue with this book is the scene changes, they felt abrupt. She would set up a scene give us a small bit of what was going on and then flash forward, skipping over the drama (or at the ending the resolution) to put us in a new scene then flash back to what just happened to finish off the details. It was very difficult trying to keep up with it.
