I am so happy I received an ARC of this. I seriously adore this book and will recommend this to anyone who will listen to me.

First, I love that Ben shows emotional intelligence and empathy throughout the entire book. He demonstrated patience and openness that I can only aspire to bring to the table.

Second, the chemistry between Hope and Ben???? I'm obsessed. Like who doesn't love a small town girl with a city boy? Also, the way both characters grow throughout the entire book was immaculate. Lauren Landish did an amazing job at making sure each main character was well thought out and addressed. The changes in Ben when feeling connections to the small town and family matters made my little heart beat.

Lastly, I cannot wait for a second book with Joy and Sean hopefully. I will be crossing my fingers and waiting oh so patiently.
