Didn’t really grab me, more mundane than original. Not in line for a reread or a series continuation. Tell me if I’m wrong.

Just a bit too angsty, in the sense of clear communication getting warped, and feelings also being twisted. TBH I read it, but I really don't feel like I even know much about the MC's. We know they had a fling in the past and remained good friends. But we never learn what attracted them to one another, any real personality. Just lifestyles at odds, one is a bar owner, in a local seaside town that she loves and never wants to leave. One is an artist who was getting more notoriety at the time they split. Artist, Kendall, wanted it to work, but our other MC and bar owner, Riley, did not want to long-distance, at all.
Throughout there's this push and pull, of the two having a steamy connection not based on much - and pining for one another and choosing to be 'friends' but Kendall seemingly is constantly punishing Riley for that fact? It's kinda weird, like they were constantly always at odds, and then twisting back again to the opposite, only to revert back again. I don't find that type of drama amusing, it read very young adult to me, not the 30ish ages they were supposed to be.
There's a black moment, and it was just so tedious and tiring. I found myself sighing and huffing at the predictability of it all. Nothing original here. Very passable IMHO.

A wonderful second chance/slow burn love story! Kendall is a successful artist that visited Tybee Island 2 years ago and had a wonderful loving time with Riley, the owner of a beach bar. However, before she left to go home, Riley said they should just be friends.
Two years later, Kendall needing inspiration goes back to Tybee Island, hoping to possibly rekindle things with Riley. I really enjoyed this book. It's a quick summer read! 5 stars!

Loved this book so much!
Sweet book about 2 people meant to be together. It shows both of the main characters POV perfectly as they navigate their way back together! My first book by this author but definitely not my last.

Great book
I loved this slow burn. Kendall and Riley knew they should be together. It was a awesome take to take us to that point.

This story takes place at Tybee Island, GA--a quaint town east of Savannah. Kendall is an artist from Memphis, and Riley is the owner of a Tybee Island bar. They met about 3 years before when Kendall was on vacation at Tybee, in which they had a wonderful fling together. Because of the distance, Riley felt the relationship could not endure.
Kendall comes again to the island for a 2-month stay to get her creative mojo back after a tiring art exhibit. While Kendall and Riley have maintained communication by texting, both women are unsure what the time will hold between them and are anxious to see what might unfold. In spite of their obvious attraction and connection, will they both be able to maneuver through the hesitancy and fears? Will Riley's anxieties about relationships sabotage her chances with Kendall? Will Kendall venture beyond her focus of regaining her momentum with her artwork? Read the story to find out.
I liked the story a lot. My main reason for 4 stars was the misspelled words. I would love to see a sequel to Riley and Kendall's story, too!
