Thank you to Netgalley and Xpresso Book Tours for the ARC!

I've read other Whitney Dineen books and this was not my favorite. It was basically Luke and Lorelei from Gilmore Girls fanfiction- it's actually referenced in the book and they even have the same names. Luke is a chef who works in the kitchen in his dad's diner, a popular small town hang out spot, and Lorelei dreams of owning a B&B. Sound familiar?

Luke looks at Lorelei as his friend's annoying little sister who had a crush on him for the entire first half of the book. He even says she's not super attractive the first time he sees her as an adult. He knows the crush never went away (she makes it very obvious) and then halfway through something switches and he all of a sudden can see her as a romantic partner.

That being said, I did like a lot of the supporting characters (many have made appearances in prior books in the series), I liked that the book had a dual POV, and it was a very quick and easy read. But this isn't one I'll be revisiting.
