MY THOUGHTS -
Cute, sweet, and fun! I love books like these. Just nice easy reading with a few twists and a little love story.

Yes, of course it was a little unbelievable and the characters were as well - but I didn't even care. I fell in love with Finn and Olivia. And - It was fiction, so I didn't expect it to be real. It was a fun sweet read and I did enjoy the characters and that is what I expected!

I loved the descriptions it really did make me feel like I was right there.I love reading books about restaurants, bakery's, coffee shops etc. maybe I owned one in a previous life. I loved all the foodie talk :-) Who wouldn't? Well except that I am trying to loose weight and every time I read it made me want to eat. So... um warning there!

I got out of this book exactly what I wanted! This was my first by this author and I would absolutely read another one!
