Can you find real love when you've always got your head in the clouds? Maybell Parish has always been a dreamer and a hopeless romantic. But living in her own world has long been preferable to dealing with the disappointments of real life. So when Maybell inherits a charming house in the Smokies from her Great-Aunt Violet, she seizes the opportunity to make a fresh start. Yet when she arrives, it seems her troubles have only just begun. Not only is the house falling apart around her, but she isn't the only inheritor: she has to share everything with Wesley Koehler, the groundskeeper who's as grouchy as he is gorgeous—and it turns out he has very different vision for the property's future. Convincing the taciturn Wesley to stop avoiding her and compromise is a task more formidable than the other dying wishes Great-Aunt Violet left behind. But when Maybell uncovers something unexpectedly sweet beneath Wesley's scowls, and as the two slowly begin to let their guard down, they might learn that sometimes the smallest steps outside one's comfort zone can lead to the greatest rewards.

I…thought the daydreaming sequences were so annoying and hard to believe
the slow reveal of the hero’s social dynamic struggles was cool
but..the characters were not interesting to me, and the use of the daydreams to create character dimension sort of failed! cuz it was annoying!!
0This was such a sweet story and I loved the character development between the two characters. However, there are few things about this book that I wasn’t keen on. One was how it was pretty slow in the beginning. It picked up maybe a little half through the book, which was fine. Another was noticing the difference of when Maybell was in her dreamland and when she was in her reality.
My favorite character was Wesley, the way he started to open up to Maybell about his social anxiety, and being so unsure of himself made me love him even more. He cared so much about Maybell even from the beginning.
Gemma was the worst and it pains me how she treated Maybell. I’m glad she finally told her what she’s always wanted to say even if it took her a bit to say it.
I love this book, with all of its heartwarming moments and awareness on anxiety.
