She just writes adult characters living in the real world that feel like I could enjoy spending time with and like they are real people. Not professional athletes or billionaires but real people with real problems living their everyday lives and falling in love in the process.
I was hoping we’d see Jeremy get his happy ever after, after he watched all his friends get theirs and Davis was worth the wait! I’m also an outdoorsy person from close to where Davis is from so he is going to be a soft spot for me forever.
Did I mention there is a dog?
If you’re a millennial, you’ll like this book. If you’re not, you’ll still probably like this book. Give Nellie a try, please! ...more
This book had me emotional from the first 10% through the whole way.
I didn’t think other characters were gonna top Lily & Nico from this series for meThis book had me emotional from the first 10% through the whole way.
I didn’t think other characters were gonna top Lily & Nico from this series for me, but Ollie is really giving them a run for their money.
I love Meadow and I want to be her friend so bad.
Ollie and Meadow are each other’s first love from when they were young, and haven’t seen each other in years. In those years they have a lot of perceptions that aren’t necessarily based on fact. We all have that stuff we haven’t let go of from when we were younger, especially if it has to do with family right? It’s so real and it’s beautiful to watch them start to resolve it (even though they’re scared) and help each other with it as well.
I don’t always like second chance and I loved every second of this one, it was well done and made a lot of sense for the characters.
There are one or two things I would probably change about this or wish maybe happened slightly differently, but overall 98% of this book I was emotional mess and eating it ALL up.
While I’m sure you could enjoy this book as a standalone, I would highly suggest reading the others in this series first. I felt like since I knew Ollie from the other books I could jump in with both feet, and I think it really helped me enjoy and like it as much as I did. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much without knowing him a bit already.
It was a beautiful end to this series, though I’d love to see a couple of the other characters get their happy endings too! Maybe in other series? We’ll see :)

I loved this book, I love this town, I love these characters.
Obliviously in love with each other and denying it is always a fav for me, but this bookI loved this book, I love this town, I love these characters.
Obliviously in love with each other and denying it is always a fav for me, but this book is so SO much more than that too.
Best friends to lovers, healing from past trauma and from current problems together, a camper van, a painting scene, animals?!?! Oh yeah, Jacob’s a vet in case you weren’t already sold.
Kelsey’s books should be in front of more people’s eyes for sure. Read the first in this series. Read this book. I think they are more true stand-alones than sometimes happens, though the first gives you a great intro to everyone and the town - you could definitely read this as a standalone (but seriously, read the first book too anyways).
I received an ARC. I was waiting for this one. And it did not disappoint me at all even though I had a big build up of it in my head. I highly recommend. There is so many little moments that mean so much, it’s an emotional but lovely book where I just want to give both of them a hug and be their friend. ...more

I just finished so I’ll be back with more coherent thoughts when I remember but UGH this is a sweet and tender and loving book. I’m so happy for Viggo and Tallulah. A writer and someone opening up a romance only book store?! I mean, what else could you want as a romance reader!?!?...more
If you want a sweet, quick read especially with winter vibes this is perfect for you!

I enjoyed this more having read the previous books in this world, especially since it’s so short so I felt like I knew Jacob a bit better and had an idea about his and Cam’s past before this takes place. I don’t think you have to read the others, but I think it will make it better for your experience. ...more

I love both the characters separately but when they come together and when they truly let themselves open up, it’s one of the sweetest romances I’ve read this year. And it’s still funny and interesting and entertaining at the same time....more

Forced proximity, some things hidden about them, and a cute coastal town in Oregon. The characters are a little older so less miscommunication then a college romance but they are still set in their ways, but they end up figuring it out in the end! ...more
