Loved this book!

Mallory finds out she has inherited a house from her eccentric Aunty Maggie. In the midst of a divorce and having lost her job, Mallory leaves New York for the house, with a plan to renovate it and live there. But when she gets there she finds the house needs a lot of work, and has many violation notices issued by the homeowners association.
She meets neighbour Nick, and despite them being opposites and not getting off to the best of starts, he is soon helping her out with sorting out the house and also offering her job in his law practice. Will they become more than neighbours and friends, or is her history going to scare her off?

Loved the side chracters, especially Nick's parents!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.

I haven’t met a Tracy Wolff or Avery Flynn book I didn’t like, so when I heard that they co-wrote a rom-com together I jumped on the ability to grab an arc. I am thoroughly glad I did. I haven’t felt so many emotions reading a rom-com since I read The Hating Game. This was that good.

I fell in love with Nick pretty fiercely after realizing he was so similar to Joshua Templeman. What a fantastic love interest! As for Mallory, the MC, I loved her ability to be vulnerable, admit her flaws and still stand strong. This was two very well crafted characters with a beautiful story that happened to bring them into each other’s lives.

I loved everything about this book. From the characters, to the plot, to the seamless ability that Avery and Tracy created to weave their writing together. I loved the concept of a divorcée finding herself and figuring it out as she went. It really was a fun journey from start to finish. It sucked you in and gave you everything you could want and more!

If you need a feel good, emotional, but heartwarming story- pick up this book!

Absolutely loved this read. Binge read it in one day and can't tell you how many times I laughed, swore out loud, and cheered. It's been a long time since I cared enough about a book to do that.
Highly recommend if you love adult romance that has some tough topics but really is just about a woman trying to learn from her past and become strong.
