I need to clarify that this book is definitely not what I would usually (or ever) pick up. I read it because it was a part of a reading challenge. So, if you like this sort of books, you will probably rate it higher.
We have a pretty wild family story and a beautiful setting.
I liked the writing style and I genuinely think the plot was good. The characters were quite endearing. There was nuance and high stakes. The romance was on point and both the main character and love interest were easy to like.
I liked the mother-daughter relationship exploration, it was very well done.
I am glad I read it and would recommend to people who are looking for a good contemporary romance with a generous dose of family drama.
