Joining for this!

[Shae]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ this story seems fun so far. I am keen to delve more into Piper's character, although she seems very shallow, I feel there is going to be a lot more to her that she uncovers. (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

starting

[Haley]

Picked this up from the library!going to try & start this weekend

(view spoiler)[Piper is a total airhead and aloof. She kinda reminds me of Alexis from Schitt's Creek lol (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

Ch 10 (view spoiler)[Brendan is damaged goods. Wearing his wedding ring even though his wife died 7 years ago. I like his immediate attraction to Piper. I imagine Piper turning into a better person from this whole experience. I also want to learn more about her dad (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I really loved Piper from the beginning. When Adrian broke up with her, you could tell that she knew what people thought of her and it bothered her. She wanted to fit the mold she thought people wanted. (hide spoiler)]

Jill wrote: "Ch 10 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I felt so bad for Brendan when I found out it had been seven years. Either he really missed her or he felt obligated and guilty. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 16
(view spoiler)[ I love that he cooked her dinner instead of taking her somewhere. It was so sweet. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[ It must have been hard for them to be married, knowing it was basically for her father. I would hate that kind of obligation. And I think it kind of makes Mick look bad. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Chapter 28
(view spoiler)[ I think he's being super unfair to her. She's only been there for weeks and she is uprooting her whole life while he's just readjusting his schedule a little. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley W]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Obviously they were always going to get a happily ever after but I love how they had to work for it together and compromise. I'm so glad the bar worked out. I would never have guessed that she would be a bartender by the end of the book, but I love it. (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

ch 19 (view spoiler)[I don't really get how Brendan and Piper are a thing. It was a little too automatic/insta love. I feel like their relationship didn't develop at all. There was no turmoil or conflict. A little too perfect for me. The spicy scenes are spicy (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

(view spoiler)[Its a really nice gesture! He seems like the romantic type lol (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

25% (view spoiler)[ I’M LOVING this so far. Piper is so clueless about practically everything, which I didn’t think was even possible. Haven’t cooked a meal and you’re 28? Wow

The frenemies to lovers is going to be so much fun to read about hehe. (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

Ashley W wrote: "Chapter 21

(view spoiler)[I know the whole marriage of convenience is a little cringe to me but at least he's not as damaged as I thought he would be (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

ch 23 (view spoiler)[I don't love that Brendan married out of obligation. thats so lame. that would give me the biggest ick lol (hide spoiler)]

[Jill]

End (view spoiler)[ ok a perfect ending. she stays in Westport with him to manage the bar and they live happily ever after. there wasn't enough conflict in this for me didn't love it as much as I'd hoped (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I'm being harsh and rating it a 2. they both had to compromise but it wasn't enough for me!! also I wish we found out more about the dad!! (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

10000% (view spoiler)[ I usually don't like characters that are this ditsy, but from the first chapter I was hooked with her personality. screw adrian... made her seem like a bore smh (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

Ashley W wrote: "Chapter 21
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ kinda a red flag at first, marrying for someone else? I don't know marriage is supposed to be "sacred" and yet he did it to please. & now it's holding him back because he has to hold the memory of his late wife. (hide spoiler)]

[Haley]

finished: listened to the audiobook and it was SO good!!
(view spoiler)[ ooo what a CUTE CUTE romance novel. I'm happy with the ending and the conclusion it came out to be. I wonder if there will be anything between Fox and Hannah, but who knows.

Screw Daniel for not making time out of his "busy" schedule to see the opening of the bar... (hide spoiler)]

I'm interested in the 2nd book if you'd like to buddy read!

[Shae]

Yes I would love to buddy read. When works for you? I would probably like further to the end of March as I have a few planned beforehand
