This is a fun, sweet, entertaining, quick read. Becket and Everly are interesting, wounded, intriguing, complex, strong, entertaining characters. I enjoyed their romance and the path it took to get to their HEA. These two are fun to spend time with. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. The story is easy to read and get into.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was a damned strange novella. The main character breaks up with her boyfriend, receives a valentine inviting her to the Kiss Lottery, and the first thing that comes to her mind is to return to the town she ran away from to find out who sent it. And there, she ends up in the “club of offended people”: an ex-friend who didn’t take her side and now holds a grudge, half the town mocking her...

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for providing this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I did enjoy this book. I love a good small town romance. There were at times I felt things were sequenced oddly, like finding out Beckett sent the invite just seemed to be glossed over. I loved the friend group and all the unique characters in it. Everly and Beckett being able to overcome their past and realize they were meant to be together was a great ending to the book.
