Reed was told to take a long vacation to deal with his grief, and in the first spur-of-the-moment decision, he booked a month stay at Belle Island, off the coast of Florida. And once there, it took him a few days to stop reaching for his phone or laptop. And that's also when he met Julie, owner of the Sweet Shoppe, who is cheery on the outside, but suffering from her own losses. They are attracted to each other, but Julie can't fall for someone who will walk away from her in a few weeks. or can she? When an outing turned into a medical emergency and caused Reed a painful flashback, will both of their hearts be broken?
While I like the town and the friends, and even Reed and Julie as characters, the plot was a bit clunky near the darkest hour and grand gesture. Without spoiling anything, let's just say the MMC decided it's ALL HIS FAULT and he had to leave her before he destroyed her. MEH. That's such a trope. And the grand gesture was a bit too easy and forgiveness a bit too fast. 4/5
