Beach Read

I loved the book, mostly, I enjoyed the story, the banter, the illusion of a happy ending and the conflict January has with her father's choices in life... to me it was pretty relatable, and it had a lot of funny times too, so I had a great time.

I enjoyed the writing behind January's personality, to make me understand it's not like she sees life under rose-colored lenses because she has a perfect life, she just chooses to see it that way regardless of the bad going on around her and look for her happy ending. And that is a nice way of viewing life, actually. Gus even points that out as kudos to her ability to be the bright light in a dark room.

Also... how she starts feeling comfortable in a town she thought she would feel the opposite due to its history, and later understanding why she's there is so beautiful and emotional... this actually brought me to tears.

My favorite chapter is 25
