Summary

When grumpy, muscled-up artist Bennett Bishop bothers to speak, it’s usually to say something you’re not ready to hear.

When he first speaks to Norah Ellis, a rambling runaway bride who hitchhikes a ride from him, it’s to tell her to get out of his truck and walk because she’s a pain in the a-s-s.

By appearance, Norah Ellis is a fancy fashionista who’s spent the last several years living the good life in the city—expensive apartments, highbrow events, and a fiancé with wealth and good looks. The only problem is that she didn’t choose any of it for herself.

On the day of her July wedding, thanks to a letter from a stranger, Norah’s world turns upside down. She runs for the hills of Vermont to start a new life, but what’s waiting for her, between her estranged sister, the townspeople, and bad-boy Bennett Bishop himself, is way more than she bargained for.

Enemies turn to lovers, strangers become friends, dark secrets bust open like cans of worms, and most of all…Summer will never be the same.

Review

I don’t know where to begin… this book was so good. It made me laugh and it made me cry so so much.

The book starts with Norah feeling her fiancé on her wedding day and going to stay with her sister in Vermont, on her way to town she hitches a ride with the town’s resident bad boy, Bennett Bishop. What follows next is a set of awkward (but hilarious) encounters, a sizzling connection and devastating secrets that will change Norah’s and Bennetts’s lives forever.

I enjoyed Norah and Bennett, I loved their banter, each time they accidentally came into contact was hilarious. I couldn’t help but love Norah she has this infectious personality, I was really rooting for her for the entire book. I even liked grumpy Bennett, whose grumpiness was completely understandable when I learned what he was dealing with in his life.

Overall this was a great read, and I highly recommend it, but make sure you have plenty of tissues ready, I’ve not cried this much reading a book since Kingdom of Ash!

My Rating: 5/5
