My Review:

Drive You Crazy if a fun, quick read.

Read for:

🛻 Grumpy/sunshine

🛻small town

🛻Gilmore Girls references/vibes

🛻witty banter

🛻forced proximity

🛻family issues

🛻Australian references

While this is a romcom, it deals with heavier issues like abandonment, grief, mental health, therapy, and the harsh reality of dysfunctional family dynamics. It is done in such a way that the book does not have a heavy feel, nor could it be considered a fluff read. 

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

Fans of Emily Henry and Gilmore Girls will adore this swoon-worthy enemies-to-love romance about how faith, family and small towns are never as simple as they seem. Bubbly newspaper editor Ashley Anderson is ecstatic to finally call this small town in Washington State 'home'—until she accidentally angers her newspaper’s biggest advertisers, and they boycott. Her neighbor Justin has the family connections to get the town back on her side—but asking for help from the man she's nicknamed 'Dracula' is a last resort. Living next door, rebel-with-a-cause teacher Justin Hastings can’t escape Amity Creek fast enough. But when a good deed goes awry, it’s his fault that Ashley’s car is out of action, and they’re forced to carpool until he can make things right. Thrust into one another’s daily lives, Ashley and Justin learn that little is black-and-white—not small town life, not family, and not each other. But there's a fork in the road, and these two are destined for separate paths. Can the road less travelled ever lead them back to love? Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in this must-read inspirational romance about the complexities—and the beauty—of true love in all its forms.
