I only say that, because there is always some family/coming-of-age issue that is really front and center and the romance is peripheral to that. Still, cute, sweet, made my heart sing and all that good stuff, entertaining, and I have no regrets spending time reading this one.

I just kind of skimmed your review as a result though because I want to go in not knowing too much. Saw you mentioned you wanted more of the love interest and that's actually how I usually feel about her books. I would be over the moon if she ever decided to write a book with dual perspectives in this regard. So excited for this one!Alicia @ A Kernel of Nonsensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100606566359762426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-11931690655621167402017-07-04T16:38:32.474-04:002017-07-04T16:38:32.474-04:00Even when it's not her best book, it has alway...Even when it's not her best book, it has always entertained me and left me feeling happy. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. Generally, I am looking for an escape. I don't really want anything too realistic or sad, and I want an HEA. Most of the time, those books work for me. If I had to choose between her last two releases, I liked By Your Side slightly more, but I think it's because I wanted more of the romance in this one. With that said, once Seth stepped up to the plate, he totally won me over.

I think the collective we think a windfall would solve all our problems, and it's lottery stories that really challenge that idea.
