"I loved this book so much! Definitely my favorite of Annabel's novels! It was so sweet and funny, while also packing quite the emotional punch! The plot was well paced and fun, I loved the writing style, and the characters were beyond amazing! Jane was a character that I was truly able to connect with, and I loved her soooo much! She and Dan were both remarkable individuals and also such a sweet couple! Their romance was seriously top tier! And Dan's family is now one of my new favorite fictional families! They were so messy and chaotic, but all of them were truly ride or die! I loved how welcoming they were to Jane, and I loved seeing Jane grow to love them and become part of the family! This entire book had me entranced and I loved every moment of it! It had me swooning and grinning like an idiot in equal measures, and I would 100% recommend checking it out! Definitely a fun, beachy read!
