Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve had a galley of this book for nearly 3 years. 🫣 So bad, I know, but I am so glad I finally read it. What a hidden gem.

Older characters than I usually read, an unconventional romance of sorts, a lot of family drama, lovely descriptions of the sea and a small Nova Scotian fishing town, aging and disease, some slightly outlandish events that somehow worked beautifully, and a big ol‘ hurricane. I was so absorbed in this story!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘ve tried to read this one for a few months now and I can‘t get past the part I‘m stuck at. I just can‘t. I liked that I could recognize the parts of Halifax the author mentioned but the book was moving too slow and the characters were hard to like. Maybe I‘ll pick it back up later 🤷‍♀️

Morning read and coffee on this rainy, dreary day. It seems fitting that I read a local book before I leave Nova Scotia.

This is a sweet story of a man and a woman finding each other in the most unexpected way and time. They work together (and at times look like they‘ll fail each other) to overcome childhood trauma, commitment issues, familial disputes, fears of what the future holds, and finding inner strength when everything around them seems to falls apart. It‘s a lovely story of two people finding love when they thought those days were over for them.
