These are some of the cutest books I’ve ever read in my life honestly. And I wouldn’t have picked them up if it weren’t for Rachel sending them my way for something I may be interested in. This definitely gives me a little escape from life, and I need it a lot of the time. Thank you so much to Rachel’s Random Resources for including me in this blog tour! I didn’t end up seeing the page with all the blogs but hopefully this banner can help a little bit.

Can I just say that I’m super sad that a lot of these really cute romantic novels start with something like someone cheating on the main character? Seriously breaks my heart. Sometimes I just want a character to realize that they deserve someone better because they do, not because they were cheated on. Although I don’t really know what else besides some other form of abuse would be a cause of what would be a “happy couple” breaking up for a good enough reason, I guess.
Maybe I just talked myself back into getting over the cheating thing. Well, no I’m not completely over it but I am I guess… OKAY with the catalyst for why Emily ended up leaving her relationship.
There’s a line in the synopsis that calls this romance “inspiring” and yes, I could totally see that. It just hurts me to know what Emily had to go through in order to have such an inspiring romance, you know? But I did like this one, and I’m glad that I got to read this. This is the second novel, but I was able to enjoy this without having to read the second one. I will say that I’d love to read the first novel when I get a chance, especially because I want to see how that one was.
I also really liked Emily as a character, and I was really proud of her for the choices that she made throughout this journey. I’m kind of jealous that she got to run off to Scotland after a terrible relationship and all that, but I think she needed that time to be away from Greg and whatever else she needed to get away from, you know?
