I went into this expecting a second-chance romance later in life type of story, but while there was a romance, I felt it was more of a women’s fiction with romantic elements, of a disillusioned woman who may just have another shot at her HEA later in life. And honestly, I enjoyed it a lot! I loved reading about Cally’s journey to find herself again, and her relationship with her tween daughter. I also loved the fairytale resort setting, it reminded me so much of Disney. 

The romance is sweet and no-spice (they only kiss at the end), and has a bit of a cliffhanger ending. I’m looking forward to book 2!
