Ruby’s life is safe and predictable - just the way she likes it. But her whole life is turned upside down when her grandmother asks her to come to the beloved little Cornish house.
Returning to Indigo Cove stirs up memories that Ruby would rather forget, but she’s determined to enjoy time at her grandmother’s home and maybe even find love along the way. Ruby then finds herself attracted to Gabe, the local brewery owner, but her resolve to stay away from love is tested to the limit.
This is a cute summer romance with a little mysterious twist that kept me coming back for more. The locals each had their own distinct personality and felt like a Cornish Stars Hallow, where everyone knows and loves the entire town. The town and Gabe were definitely the highlights of the book and one of the main reasons I enjoyed my time with this story.
Ruby, on the other hand, I had some difficulty with. Her daddy issues prevented her from making, keeping and maintaining any kind of long-term relationships in her life. Even with her "best friend" she was going to throw everything away just because she thought she knew better than what her best friend should do with her life. It was hard to root for her and want to see her success when it seemed that she didn't even want it for herself.
Final Thoughts - Light steam but overall enjoyed the atmosphere the story created, just wish it was focused on other more likable characters from the town.
