    A buddy pick from Manpreet, and one that definitely got my attention. I have some theories about where the plot is gonna go, but it's still a fun ride.

    A book inspired by Sleepless in Seattle? I was sold on it so fast but it exceeded my expectations. I absolutely adored the family unit that Maya had, and it was probably one of the healthiest I've seen in a while. I loved getting to see so much of the podcast and watching Aiden fall in love with Lucie. It was probably what I needed to read to finally get me out of my slump so I'm so glad that I finally did. Looking forward to the next one 😉

    This book was probably the book that I was the most hesitant to read because I really liked the Cam that we have been seeing in the other books, but I didn't know yet how to feel about Dusty as a character. Right off the bat, I was intrigued by the history between them and what caused the eventual end of their relationship when they were younger. I really liked the exploration of Cam's character and seeing her complex relationship with the Ryder family. Cam's eventual role in Meadowlark was predictable but I do like how at the end of the day, it was her decision to stay and be closer to everyone she loves. Dusty took a little more convincing for me, but eventually I grew to like him. I don't think his character had the same level of depth that Cam had and I really wish that we could've explored past vs present day Dusty way more, but he did make for an interesting partner for Cam. I could clearly see why she ended up falling for him and it was pretty sweet that some sides of him were reserved just for Cam. I'm so sad to let this series go, but I'm so glad that the series ended exactly where we started.
