A big thank you to @netgalley, @putnambooks, and @allaboutthat_lace for the opportunity to read this #eARC in exchange for my #honestreview! This will be published March 21 and is available for preorder now. 💕
Redford, Georgia is a small town that is big on community. Jess has called Redford home her whole life, through the good and the bad despite never fully feeling she belongs. When Carter visits Redford, it’s to attend the funeral of his beloved grandfather, Jasper, and for the reading of his will. Things take an exciting turn when, during the reading of Jasper’s will, the estate lawyer announces there will be a contest among the residents of the town and Carter to compete in pairs of two to win his fortune of $10 million. Will the town of Redford learn to work together or will the pressure be too much for these pairings? Let the games begin!
This was so good! I have to admit the premise didn’t have me fully sold immediately but Waldon did it so well! I also absolutely loved that the FMC, Jess, was an author so there were a few nods to narrative form and a kind of breaking of the fourth wall to address the conflict for the MC before the resolution. A very cute romance filled with good feels, solid pop culture references (Golden Girls, and T.Swift, and Barbie - oh my!) and a small town vibe. This is exactly what I am looking for in a closed door contemporary romance! Romcom lovers should run to this one!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 - 4.5/5
