Sometimes you just need a book that isn't too heavy, but still makes you ponder things outside of your own little world, with a tinge of romance, but driven by estrogen alone, and a bit of comfort knowing that there are people out there living life, just like you. This book provides that. Louise Miller crafts a story that has truly believable characters. Nora could be your neighbor, her story could be yours. She shows the flaws that bring depth to them.
The story isn't new.
Guthrie is a small town, on the verge of change. A large corporation is looking to buy and build in the town.
Nora inherited the land that they are looking to buy. She feels like this decision weighs entirely on her. On one hand, she, and her sister, could use the money from the sale, but Nora feels that the big box would destroy the feel of the town

Mix in a a slow building romance, the discovery of a sisters long held feelings about how childhood events shaped them both into who they are, and the difference between being neighborly and knowing your neighbors.

I really enjoyed this book. But I felt like it was a bit rushed, maybe to either meet a deadline or to keep to a page limit.
There were some holes in the story. I get that this is a method of writing. And in many cases, it worked well, but in some instances, I felt that there were introductions that happened, with inadequate tie backs, or hastily wrapped up in the end.
