I have all of Jenny L. Howe's books because she's a local author and one of my favorite bookstores always does preorder specials for her releases, but I hadn't actually read any. I was honestly a little worried I might not like them, since she is so lovely in person, and I didn't want to get in a situation where I had to lie about how I felt about her books. Not gonna be a problem! This was fantastic! The characters were so charming. Despite most of them being kind and good people, they still feel real and grounded. I thought Everly and Logan had great chemistry. I thought the writing itself was pleasant, clear and easy to read but still immersive and thoughtful. Looking forward more!
