From the moment I opened this book, I was absolutely hooked! Small town romances have always been a favorite of mine, and this one did not disappoint. What really stood out to me was how the storyline wasn't just propelled by events but by the rich, dynamic characters. Marissa and Scott were crafted with such depth—faults and all—and it was their personalities that truly shaped the narrative.
The side characters were equally engaging, each bringing their own unique flavor to the story. The pacing was spot on; nothing felt rushed, yet the story flowed effortlessly. Every chapter was a delightful journey, making it impossible for me to put the book down.


Overall, this was an exceptional read. I'll be recommending it to all my friends and it’s definitely going on my re-read list. To the author, bravo! I am eagerly looking forward to your future works. For a debut novel, this was a masterpiece

This is, without a doubt, the best sweet romance I’ve ever read (and I’ve read hundreds this year alone). I was expecting a light-hearted romcom - but this book was so much more. It was deep, inspiring, and meaningful. It was more than a romance - it was a story of healing - of finding yourself, loving yourself, and realizing your worth. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a wholesome sweet romance with a very happy ending.

Make sure you read the author note at the end - it brings another layer of meaning and depth.

I LOVED this debut novel by Kiri Patterson. This novel was so sweet and I adored the characters and their connection. Kiri built the perfect small town for this novel and it seriously made me want to jump in the pages and be immersed in all things fall.

This novel is like a warm blanket on a cold day and a hot coffee in hand. It was soo good! Highly recommend this to fans of fall, Gilmore Girls, and sweet and swoon romances!
