This was a funny, light read. It was a little too insta-love/lust for me but the awkward funny moments made up for that. The way they meet is hilarious.

I really liked the premise of this book but wish it had had a bit more substance to it. There was a lot of focus given to the sisters (most likely because they're being set up for the sequels) and I think that distracted from Noah's time on the page. He felt very flat. Amelia was fine, she had a bit more to her, but I was still left wanting a bit more.

My main wish with this book is that we were able to get to know the town itself as a character. This series is about finding romance there and I didn't feel like it really mattered? I'm hoping the sequel will expand on that (though tbh I'm not excited for it to be Annie because she was annoying in this book. The swearing thing? Why.)

All in all this book was fine. There was some nice moments but it was a bit repetitive and felt predictable beyond the comfort of contemporary predictability

Funny banter. Forced proximity romance. Insta-love-connection. Grumpy meets sunshine. I thought the topic discussed in the book were done very well. I hope the other Walker sisters get their own love story (cough, cough, hint, hint, Sarah Adams).

This books reads like a Hallmark movie that's dragging on for 10 hours. The plot is predictable, the writing reads like a newbie author having a go at romance (not bad, but it lacks a lot of depth and at times I found myself rolling my eyes or even skipping lines) and the characters are a little annoying/lacking depth. Read it if you're in that weird mood where you want to read something but you don't feel like paying attention fully.
