I really liked this book-- thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for allowing me an ARC to provide this review! The plot wasn't predictable, and Maggie was a complex character with a past that clung to her like armor. It took Silas, our determined hero, to help her move on from being a self-proclaimed "tumbleweed", running from a settled life. The setting of Kinship, Idaho, was so sweet, with townspeople I would love to read about again, and a reality TV plotline that will make any HGTV fan happy. All of the details, including sweet little animals like a doggo named Kevin, were simply the perfect backdrop for a heart-seizing romance that had me truly rooting for these characters to have their HEA. I also loved that this wasn't necessarily a slow-burn and that I got to see a lot of the main couple together before the novel's very satisfying ending. The only reason this isn't five stars is because I did not love the epistolary bits at the ends of chapters, which is just my taste. Highly recommend checking this one out!

It was cute.

Here’s the thing about dual pov romances: they bore me! I hate knowing what the guy thinks. I want it to be full of yearning and suspense from the heroine’s side.

But anyway, this was still cute and fun
