when i started reading this i was a teeny bit hesitant just because i'm nowhere near where the characters in this book are and i like to at least have some relation to my life usually with the books i read BUT!!! this was SO cute and exactly what i needed. marigold was such an enjoyable fmc and i found myself in her many times throughout the book. especially her making art and trying to find the time to do it and about how she felt with taking risks. it resonated with me and my life right now a lot. i loved how she wasn't just a mom and how this book made her so much more, it explored the story of her finding herself again!! i don't even know where to start with liam, i already asked juliana if she has an amazon link for him or something because i am so so so obsessed with him he was sweet, kind, incredibly thoughtful and the way he loved marigold made me melt ahhh ¡ also loved their two twins, they were so cute and funny so i really liked them, especially how mischievous they were with their planning. i also loved that this was a closed door romance, the tension was still there alllll the time and that's what i'm here for tbh hehe if you love the parent trap, second chance & small town romances i feel like this will be perfect for you!! thank you juliana smith and netgalley for letting me read this before the release date, i really really enjoyed it and can highly recommend
