Feels Like the First Time

Vintage Adair. This one got a little saccharine for me in places, but all the usual elements are here: a badass heroine who puts her family first and herself second, a love interest who is trying to prove to himself and everyone else that he's over his ex-wife, a town full of well-intentioned meddlers, complicated family dynamics, witty banter, sweetness, vulnerability, charm. It's all there. On a more personal note, I 100% related to the heroine, and cried without shame at the appropriate parts. It's rare that a book in this genre affects me emotionally (I read romance to hide from my feels!), but this one came along at just the right time.
