I have been wanting golf books for a long time now, and here I have been blessed with two in one year. While this was not the steamy, hot, tear-your-glove-off romance I'd been manifesting (I can thank [author:Tessa Bailey|6953499] granting that wish with [book:Fangirl Down|150343880]), this did have some on-the-course romance while diving deeper into the lifestyle of amateur golfers.
Beth's quest for her daughter, and now grand-daughter was interesting and I was rooting for them throughout, but it just wasn't really my jam. It's a bit of a downer in how true-to-life it is. Beth is not over her ex-husband, she has a thin relationship with her son because of how he became second fiddle to her search for her runaway daughter in his youth, her new beau can't commit because of his own family commitments to his son, and it's just bleh.
I didn't need a cheesy happily ever after for an extremely complicated web of characters, but I would have loved for Beth to have been able to move on with Barry and for Sky's father to get a little more appreciation. I think he was the real hero of this story and he's just treated like trash.
I don't really know how I feel about this book, but I did love the golf elements. I could see this being expanded into a really strong family drama film or series.
