Maggie Moves On

I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did. One thing that I loved about this book was the length. It is a LONG romance, but it fits the plot. Maggie moves to the town for a big house renovation that will take months. It makes sense that the book is long and full of different events that reflect it. It also made the romance *that* much more believable. Maggie is scared of change, and Silas is trying to change her view on that and of him. Changing one’s view on the world isn’t going to change in a week or two.

Of course, I also loved all the characters in this book. It starts out small, and as the story progresses, you become introduced to more and more characters that you love. It really ends up being a found family (but I would have never guessed it would end up that way from the first couple of chapters). This book was honestly full of great surprises in that way.

Finally, this book was really funny. I enjoyed the dialogue and the absurd happens that are (unfortunately) totally normal for a house renovation. Maybe times, I found myself chuckling and highlighting passages.

I would highly recommend this book. It was cute, funny, and heart-warming.

3.75 stars

It took me a while to get into this book and I'm not exactly sure why. The characters are likeable, the short subplot is interesting enough and the immaculate witty banter between Silas and Maggie is SO good.

I think it was the beginning. It's very slow to build up anything between the characters, so if you're looking for insta-love romance read, this is not for you.
