I read this as an Advance readers copy from NetGalley.

This was such a cute love story set in a small town in South Africa. It’s got all the elements of a small town romance that I love close community and nosy neighbors.

Rowan, has recently moved to this small town, and he is a new single dad trying to acclimate into the town, whilst trying to work on himself and his insecurities with his parents and parenthood.
Delilah also moved to this small town, almost a year ago, she was the most recent addition to the town. She moved after her life in Cape Town imploded, and she was lost. She came into the town, wanting to prove to others and herself that she was a good person, and to find herself.

Their story was a slow burn full of so much mutual pining, it was cute. The story covers themes of parenthood (including including including the good and the bad), friendship and new found family. You can’t help but root for both of them, even when their insecurities are at the forefront and coming in between their happiness.

Overall, these two were both deserving of love and at the end of it, I’m so glad that they both realized it and lived happily ever after! ( )
