This is one of those adorable contemporary romances where everything seems to just fall into place in the best of ways. Our main character has lost her mother and her biggest dream has been to go to the school where her parents met in college. This is one of those books where you are rooting for the main character to find her place and realize that she has found her place. This definitely has found family feels and the romance is adorable beyond measure. I have loved everything I have read from this author so far and can not wait to pick up her next book.
