First of all I want to thank the author who provided me with a review copy of this book and helped me getting out of my reading slump.

It’s a heart-warming story about family, love and friendship.

The story is set in a small town called Halley, where we are introduced to Sarah, who has just returned home from his uncle Joe’s place, her best friend ‘Alana’ her everything that she missed while she was away and here we come to know about the two brothers who have just moved into the town- ‘Julien’ who is Alana’s new boyfriend and his brother ‘Gary’.

But when Sarah met Julien (Alana’s Boyfriend) she totally fell for him and Julien fell in love with her too.

In spite of being a novellet, I am very much impressed me with the author’s writing skills and how well she has crafted believable characters.

I also want to talk about the cover, because it is supperr gorgeous! I am a person who sometimes judges the book by its cover but if specifically talking about this book then I must say that the story was as adorable as the cover (or tbh, it was much more beautiful as compared to the cover).

This is the first book in the series and to be honest, I’m thrilled to read the next book.
