I really enjoyed this book as it followed Hannah as she learns about the passing of her estranged fathers death while also reconnecting with family she didn't know she had. When she hears of her fathers passing, she doesn't plan on going to the funeral, but upon her mothers insistence, she decides to go. As the product of her father's affair, she wasn't expecting to make friends. But by the time the funeral ends and we week long stay is over, she has found a family and a love interest that she wasn't expecting.

I felt this book moved really fast with the love interest, but I do wish this book was longer to delve more into the relationships with her siblings. I thought the siblings reactions to her were a little dramatic and over reactive but I've also never been in that situation so I'm not sure if I would have acted the same way. I did think the relationships with the family was nice but it seemed that the love interest in the book was the main topic, which I'm fine with. 

Overall, it was a good book, a quick and easy read but filled with emotions of family and loss.
