This was a nice change of pace after reading quite a few psychological thrillers and darker books in the spirit of Halloween. A sweet romantic comedy that reminded me of turning on a Hallmark movie and getting sucked into the story and rooting for a happy ending for the main characters. I def know how it feels to come from a small town and feeling judged by who you were at 17 every time you're back. This is a chunky book at 532 pgs but worth it!
