Fun, light-hearted, finding happiness
Review:
This took me by surprise in the best way. I was in a reading slump and struggled to get into the first few chapters, but then it hit the ground running and I found myself speeding through. It was such a feel-good storyline with endearing and lovable characters.
Bella had her whole life set - perfect family, perfect job, perfect fiancé. She was your stereotypical rich princess who thought she knew how the world worked until her life gets turned upside-down until she and her dad get kicked out of their family’s multimillion-dollar soup business and she catches her fiancé cheating on her with her best friend. It’s your typical riches to rags story with a great redemption arc and layered characters.
I wouldn’t say Dan was a grumpy main character, but he also wasn’t a ray of sunshine. He was a slightly brooding, hard-working guy who had no time for setbacks. Not when the most vulnerable in his community are relying on him. His heart was so big and you couldn’t help but love him in the same way his community did. His patience with Bella was something to be applauded. His zany family and friends were the perfect supporting characters to make this book fun and light.
The only reason it lost a star was because it was a fairly predictable read with a heavily used plot point.
If you’re looking for a light, feel-good read with a good message about appreciating the simple things in life, run to this one.
Thank you Netgally and Danielle Owen-Jones for making this book available in exchange for an honest review!
