Please don't. Don't get back together. I could care less for the characters and their relationship. Even the writing felt a bit iffy to me. Wouldn't re read it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for approving me for this ARC.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book! I really loved the small town cozy vibes throughout.

Small town second chance is one of my favorite tropes. This was overall a lovely book. It was hard to put down and was easy to jump back into after taking a break for a little while.

This was a wonderful read. I am currently in a second chance romance mood and this book really brought to that place where life and love triumph over the pain and feelings of sadness that we all face. Meyer shows the true power of Love to help us recover and reconnect with who we truly want to be and with those that are most important to us. There was just the right blend of backstory, longing, regret, and emotion between Th and Quinn that made their chemistry real to me. But, I wound the subplot of Quinn facing her Chronic Illness to be a powerful aspect of their story, something that a lot of romances shy away from. There is so much more to this book than a simple escapist boy and girl getting back together story. And, although this may not appeal to everyone, that is so important to showing Quinn as a fully developed character and highlight the powerful.connection she has with Ty.

This was a great real romance and one that makes you think as well as smile!

Such an incredibly cute story! I love small town US romance books and honestly I have to constantly fight the urge to book a flight - this book is not helping that urge!
A perfect, sunny, cosy summer romance read!

This was a swoony small-town romance, giving Gilmore Girls meets Taylor Swift (country era) meets Sweet Home Alabama in a sweet second chance story!

Second chance meets small town romance...? YES, PLEASE! Also, the title...my mind immediately went to Taylor Swift! "We are never, ever, ever, getting back together..."
Quinn is doing the best she can making do with completing the certification program she needs to in order to get her business officially launched and off the ground, all while dealing with her own family drama, and oh yeah, her ex-boyfriend showing up in town. Quinn and Ty haven't seen each other since they broke up, which has been years. They are left in charge of their towns Founder's Day Festival, having to co-host events all week long. Although, as time goes on, Quinn is trying to decide if the sparks she's feeling are truly sparks or if she is instead, fueled by her hate of Ty.
I definitely struggled with wanting more from the novel overall, as well as some of the other characters. I wanted to know more about Ty, because we knew a lot about Quinn and her family too, of course. I didn’t feel as connected to him as I would’ve liked. I also would’ve loved more of the small town feels that I get from reading your typical small town romance novel...I feel like this one just kinda missed the mark for me. I did love how likable Quinn was though and her families complete support as she was navigating a chronic illness.

"As long as you're holding my hand, I'm ready for anything."

“I'll never be over him, either. My heart belongs to him. It always has. Even when he makes me crazy. Even when he makes me hurt."

“And I couldn't come back, knowing I'd see you. Knowing it would tear me apart all over again. I just—I couldn't."

"I missed us every single day I was gone. I missed you." OKAY, MAJOR SWOON MOMENT HERE!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC edition!

Not a fan, was hard to enjoy, the way it was written and how the character acted. I love an good second chance romance but man this was notit for me, Found the chacters boring and not interesting. I love women trying to get her own business together.
Would not read again.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for an honest reviews. All opinions are my own.

I love everything this was compared to but it didn’t work for me.

I really wanted to love this as i love all things gilmore girls, taylor swift and romance. However i found the writing style really irritating and it made it hard to follow the story at times. This ruined the book for me unfortunately

Unfortunately this one wasn’t one that I liked. I thought with the Gilmore Girls tagline I would like. But to me it was more of the second part of that tagline Sweet Home Alabama a more I hate. And I kept hearing Taylor Swift music as I read it, but then the title should have given that one away.

Such a true and raw look at living with a chronic illness. Aside from the love story aspect of the novel (which was super sweet and you could feel the longing and chemistry!), Krysti was able to show that Quinn had more going on than just her love life. She has to figure out her career, learn to live with imperfections and control what she can, and see how she'll pay for her medications. I love that the focus wasn't simply 'i need a boyfriend/man to help take care of me'.

The beginning of the novel hit home since we are planning my high school reunion. How awkward it will be to see everyone from high school and not really having much to talk about since graduation definitely hit home!

First off the cover of this book is stunning! I think that’s what grabbed my attention first. Then reading the synopsis I knew I had to read it! You had all of my favorite tropes! Loved that. I loved the Taylor swift references! Quick fun read!

I’ would recommend to all of my friends.

I mean who doesn’t love Gilmore Girls and Sweet Home Alabama vibes!!!

Thank you for the ARC!!

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

A light, fun, quick read. I didn't necessarily feel the chemistry between Quinn and Ty but their relationship worked. Another fun read by Krysti Meyer. Can't wait to see what she writes next.

Really good read about a 2nd chance romance. She's working on making her name for herself in a small town helping people with her baking and her ex has come back to town!
It was short of sweet whilst still being able to cover issues about our MFC chronic illness and how misdiagnoses' can effect a person and the affects it can have on daily tasks. I felt like this book really handled this topic very well as it can us a good feeling on what it must be like to live with a chronic illness whilst still giving her hopes, dreams and having a good feel for the character

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. Both characters felt a little too immature, especially the FMC. the family drama wasn’t really present besides a couple passing comments/mentions and the chemistry just wasn’t enough.

I really enjoyed the idea of them having to put together a town festival and I was super intrigued by the FMCs medical condition and how she was navigating that but romance wise it just wasn’t believable for the two of them to get back together.
