When you are compiling your Best of 2023 lists and your Most Anticipated of 2024 - make sure this book is on the latter.
With a publication date of May 21, 2024, this book is perfectly set for a spring release. The Pacific Northwest summer setting, surroundings full of lush flowers and plant life, farm animal side characters, and enough discussion of food to make your mouth water - these all lend themselves to a perfect late spring/early summer romance.
In many contemporary romance books, the FMC is the one that is emotionally struggling, going through immense life changes, and dealing with the emotional and mental impacts that they have. In this book, while the FMC certainly has had many life-altering events, the MMC is the one with current and prevalent mental and emotional struggles. It was interesting to see the FMC play the more supportive role, and I quite enjoyed the flip.
Other aspects I quite enjoyed - the infrequent use of pet names, humor without being cringy, open communication, and side characters with their own development and growth.
