I don't usually read young adult romance, but I was surprised of how much I liked this book. Friends to lovers in small town trope has always been one of my favorites, especially when it's small town guy x city girl.

I would say the main plot was more about Tess' journey and that includes finding love, friendship, and a found family in a town of nowhere where her ex-boyfriend left her.  I love Tess' relationships with other characters especially Colten (of course) and his family! Would LOVE to try Earl's food.

Tess and Colten are absolutely adorable together. Though I have to say, I'm not a fan of the insta-love, but it was just an attraction between the main characters, they're secretly having a crush on each other and hesitating to confess. We kinda get both insta-love and slow burn at the same time. 

Reading this felt like watching a Netflix romcom movie and I enjoyed it, definitely recommend this!

Thank you to Netgalley, Toad Tree Press, and Rayna York for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
