I have read one Camille Pagan book prior to this one and enjoyed it. This one, however, disappointed some. I read it quickly, and the character was ok, but it was way too predictable for me and the main character was portrayed as a weak woman which I am personally over reading characters like this.

Good book that was a quick read to me. It passed quickly and was a good story. No real down sides to this one.

I went into this book hoping it would be about the magazine publishing industry - the lead character is editor-in-chief of a Real Simple type of magazine. But it the usual romance trope - the lead character has a meltdown and needs to take a leave of absence but luckily she has a place to go in the midwest - her recently deceased brother had left her his lakefront home. Hijinks ensue when she arrives to find her brother's best friend also living in the house. You can see where this is going...I found it predictable which reduced my enjoyment.

This was a slow burn story of grief & loss of a loved one with a silver lining with intention.

It was evenly paced with solid character growth and development.

I’m not usually a fan of a slow burn but it worked for this book especially due to the delicate nature of the storyline.

The author puts a trigger warning note at the beginning of the book but I think it’s written so well ane handled the topic in such an eloquent way that it imo makes it much less triggering and more reflective.

Read if you're into…

Finding your voice (equal pay!)

Overall a good story and it’s one that I think would make a really cute movie.

I’m looking forward to reading more by this author. Plus this cover is so beautiful and very Instagrammable.

I felt this book lacked substance. I did like this book but felt like it was too long and not much happened. I certainly did not feel like Aly and Wyatt had much chemistry.

I really liked this book, it was different than anything else I've read which was a breath of fresh air. I will be recommending this to my friends, and auto buy this author!

I loved, LOVED this book! I never read the author before, so I had no idea what to expect. I actually thought based off of the cover it was going to be a fluffy beach read. Don't let it fool you. The book is deep and I was sobbing at times. Anyone who has lost someone close to them will feel a connection to Aly. Grief is complicated and I liked that the author didn't demonstrate it in any cliche ways. The romance was so perfect, I loved that Aly and Wyatt truly grew together. Their relationship showed how another person can heal you in the darkest times. The sub-plots were great too, especially the complicated feelings between Aly and her mom. Overall, an easy five-star read for me.

One of the more entertaining stories by this author. Overall, it was light, cute, fun, and easy to read.

This was a quick and easy read. I really liked the premise of this story and whilst it didn’t full click for me it was still an enjoyable light read.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

This was a really enjoyable book following the typical romance novel structure. Aly is an overworked career woman who suffers a setback in life, meets a man, and slowly comes to realise that there is more to life, and what she wants is her man. A good read, if a little predictable.

I found the book to be a fast and enjoyable read. The settings were well-described and added to the overall experience. However, I did find the plot to be predictable.

This was a quick and fun read! I found it pretty predictable, but the premise was unique from other recent romance books, and I flew through it.

➠ 💭 Camille Pagán brings us another book that I am swooning over. I loved it. She brings us a story about a badass woman who has her dream job and is killing it. However, she also brings us a story about mental health, grief, loss, sadness, hopefulness, happiness, love, and so much more. It has everything you want a book to have all within.

Read this book if are experiencing some life changes and just need a good feel good book that will bring you through a beautiful journey from sadness and hardship to recovering through hard times. Read this if you like, brothers best friend, forced proximity, or a Michigan setting.

Thank you @LakeUnionPublishing for the #Netgalley copy!

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

Wow, I really enjoyed this book. I didn't want it to end. I wasn't sure where it was headed but I I enjoyed the way Aly & Wyatt (her late brother's best friend) found each other together in her late brother's house. They were both shocked that they each owned half of the house.

I found it humorous how they had to fought, and cheered when they fell for each other. I have to admit I cried at the end. I think the entire book made me emotional.

I have to take a short break afte this one and digest it.

A fun, breezy read perfect for the beach. Character driven while also maintains plot. Make sure to pick this one up for your next beach trip!

The book is well-written and engaging. The characters are relatable and the plot is heartwarming.

Aly is a strong and independent woman who is determined to overcome the challenges she faces. Wyatt is a charming and laid-back guy who helps Aly to relax and have fun. The relationship between Aly and Wyatt is sweet and believable. The book explores themes of friendship, family, and self-discovery.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good love story with a touch of humor and a bit of twinkle-in-your-eye sarcasm.

Cute book though a bit predictable. Nice easy summer read for fans of Pagan. Bonus points for a great setting!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this to read in exchange for my honest opinion. I have found a new favorite author! I stayed up WAY too late several nights in a row to read this, and neglected my family and household for this book. I found myself both ugly crying and laughing, sometimes in the same breath. I was particularly pulled into the character of Wyatt, and found myself wondering what Wyatt was hiding. When I found out, it really was an excellent twist to a book that was already great. Would definitely recommend!

2.5 stars.
the characters felt so flat & everything felt so surface level. even though this deals with very heavy topics like grief, losing a family member, having an abusive/alcoholic parent, it didn't feel like we ever delved into really how that would make someone feel. it felt like the author just relied on people knowing these things are difficult and didn't flesh out how they made our MC feel.
