In the new and unsettling pace, she finds comfort in a motley mix of newfound family, a mysteriously dashing town benefactor, and her cats. Together, they uncover the mystery behind Claire's untimely demise.
Can Sal find the answers she is searching for, or will she discover something about herself that she's buried too long?

“Full review to come after Book Tour dates are completed, ARC received by the author in exchange for my honest review!”Crystal 📚
Created 22 days ago“This was a sweet story of overcoming grief and finding yourself.
Overall, it had good bones, but something about the writing style and pacing didn't quite match my personal preferences.
Sal had an interesting background, but something about her character felt slightly shallow. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be much chemistry between Rafa and Sal, and it almost felt like they would have been better off as friends. I wish we had seen something more between them, as I love a good romance book, but this just didn't hit the mark for me.
I would have loved to have seen some more from Rafa’s perspective. We never find out what his job is or anything about him apart from the fact that he exclusively wears ‘plaid blouses’ and is friends with Claire.
Sal did go through a lot of growth, and the book handled grief well, but it felt a bit repetitive in places. There were also a few things that made it feel unrealistic, such as Rafa being able to repair so much of the cottage in a single day despite not having any experience and Sal having access to a variety of Asian ingredients in a supposedly small town.
I did like the included footnotes that explained some of the Filipino terms.”Start a Book Club
