3.5

it’s good, but not a favorite. i think hannah being responsible for nora and owen was great for comic relief, but i didn’t really like things overall. the characters seemed kinda flat to me. i did rip through the last 25% or so, though. way to hold the suspense!

I truly did not want this book to end.

Are you looking for a fun, easy to read, and engaging romance that should definitely become a rom-com? You've found the right book for you.

Hannah is in Vermont for the summer babysitting her niece and nephew while her sister and brother-in-law are traveling. Her only plan is to sit down and actually make a plan for her life, after getting laid off recently. She wants to decide where her next job will be and exactly what she wants to be doing. Overwhelmed with her future undecided, she decides to build a treehouse for her niece and nephew. But while doing so, she finds herself drawn to the next door neighbor, Nathan. What happens between them is for you to find out...

This flirty, awkward, and light-hearted romance is the perfect read during any season. Need a book to cozy up to by the fire? Need a book to read at the beach? This is the perfect vacation companion.

A warm and witty story with little Nora definitely stealing the show! She has a vivid imagination and wants to be a princess in her kingdom.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: what about a bit more diversity, possibly even adding someone who is chronically ill :)

As a native Vermonter, this was such a fun read! I've only ever read a couple of books based in my home state and so I really enjoyed all the references to local businesses and places I love and enjoy myself.

The storyline of this book was sweet and I really enjoyed the characters, especially the relationship between the main character Hannah, and her sister and parents. I wonder if this may be a reflection of the author's family? If so, I really enjoyed it!

I did find that the conversation between Hannah and her neighbor/love interest throughout the book was a little awkward at times. The ending took me by surprise and I once again really enjoyed the references to Vermont history. The last part of the book was my favorite- it was intense and kept my attention to the very end.
