Juniper Connolly thinks she has her life in order, until she wakes up in a hospital bed after a heart attack she survived only thanks to the efforts of the incompetent intern she was in the process of firing. That intern is Alison Wells, daughter of literary icon Carson Wells and June's half-sister, desperate to tell her but not knowing how. When June is told she needs to relax, Alison takes advantage of her love of Wells' writing and invites her to rest at her family’s cabin in a small Wyoming town. June sees no reason to turn the offer down, and so begins a season of discovery that will help them realize who they truly are and what it means to be family.

I liked both Allison and June. They're distinct characters with paths they're determined to follow, who come to realize that leaving room to breathe can lead to more happiness in life. Their love interests are a little too perfect to be believed, yet this is very much a romance, so we'll forgive that neither one seems to have a flaw beyond not being the best at communicating their feelings.
It does feel a bit slow at times. Thayne gives her characters the time to really consider what their decisions might achieve, which makes for fulfilling character arcs in a slow-moving plot. It leaves room to explore the beauty of the ranch and the complexities of telling someone they're your unknown half-sibling. June ends up at the ranch because she needs to slow down, and it feels like the book forces you to slow down along with her and just enjoy the ride.

Very happy thanks to NetGalley and Canary Street Press for the emotional read!
