4.5 - Someone make it possible to live in a book.
I had a feeling as soon as I started this that I would enjoy this book, but I definitely underestimated just how much.
If you're a fan of Gilmore Girls, essentially any 90's romcom, city girl vs local boy, this book is FOR YOU.
Following the death of her mother, Michelle, takes over her family's Bed and Breakfast in the charming small town of Copper Run while they wait for her younger sister to be ready to take over. Enter an amazing ensemble cast of good hearted neighbors, the single dad next door who bakes and his charming daughters.
If there's one thing a single parent book will always do and will get me everytime is when the significant other stands up for / shows up for the children. Slow and steady in her own stubborn way Michelle does just that for Cliff's kids Brittney and Emily. She uses her own relationship with her mother to relate to them and understand in ways others in their life might now. And it really shows why Cliff falls for her.
AND CLIFF! THIS MAN!! This funny, talk too much man. He's truly a gem and refreshing. I loved how he chipped away at Michelle's walls and being 100% understanding. Even in his frustrations, you could tell he cared about everyone in his life. Ugh love that man.
This book was truly the best fall/winter book to read. I wanted to jump right into the town and be apart of it all.
