This was a cute and romantic story. Somehow I especially liked the things that were going on in the background, for instance some of the interaction between Charlie and her colleagues at the Muffin Top bakery. She and Bethany being able to manipulate Sandy and Mr. Silverfox. Manipulate in a good way!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of the book.

*Sigh* I really really love Georgia Beers as an author and she's always in my personal best five lesbian authors list.
In this book the writing is as always perfect, the emotions are there, the descriptions are as always engaging so what went wrong?
The problem for me was that I never really liked Charlie as an MC. I was excited and intrigued when I started reading the synopsis of this book but as soon as I was introduced to Charlie I felt that it would be hard for me to root for her. I was hoping that slowly slowly she would win me over but it never really happened and then the book ended. Maybe the pace of the romance was problematic and I needed more time to believe that Charlie wanted to be with Emma so much. To me it was like she was forced in a situation (by her ex gf) where she didn't have any other choice than to go back home and reconsider her life. I was left feeling that if her ex called her she would fly back to NY in an instant.

I also found Emma very weak and it was hard for me to believe how she so easily let Charlie back into her life and without even so many explanations (especially after mentioning how broken she was and for how long when Charlie left her). There are inconsistency issues and I feel that there was no real built up between the MCs.

I still recommend this book because it's Georgia Beers and it's a quality read no matter what.
