From USA Today and Amazon Charts bestselling author Meghan Quinn comes a heartfelt romantic comedy about new beginnings and finding the romanticized happily ever after in the most unlikely of places.

Hollywood screenwriter Sawyer Walsh knows a good love story when he sees it. But when it comes to real life romance, he’s a mess. That’s how he finds himself standing at the altar…as his ex-girlfriend ties the knot with his very famous best friend. The pressure, the resentment, the media coverage—it’s all too much—and before he knows exactly what he’s doing, he’s making a run for it, leaving a shocked congregation and flashing cameras in his wake.

Needing to lie low amid the media fallout, Sawyer lands in the charming town of Canoodle, California, where he crosses paths with Fallon Long, who runs the Canoodle Cove Cabins, a family-owned business and Sawyer’s new short-term residence. Overwhelmed with renovations and her long list of responsibilities, Fallon is struggling to make ends meet while attempting to bring the cabins back to their original glory. So when Sawyer arrives, she is grateful for the income, but immediately writes him off as just another vapid Hollywood hack, until he begins to prove her wrong at every turn.

As Fallon comes closer to saving the family business, an undeniable bond forms between her and the handsome screenwriter. But the pressures of her family obligations and Sawyer’s notoriety might prove to be too much for anyone to handle. Could Canoodle be the setting for a new romance—or is true love just a Hollywood cliché?

Critic reviews

“A diverse cast, solid friendships, and some laugh-out-loud moments only enhance proceedings. This is sure to please.” —Publishers Weekly

“The supporting characters give this slow-burn romance from Quinn (The Reunion) a healthy dose of humor and heart and make this story one to include in all romance collections.” —Library Journal

I had high hopes for this book. There was the basis for a good story, but it just got too cheesy and predictable. Easy beach read.

Too corny

But in the middle, it became just too predictable, boring, slow and, idk, yawn worthy.
I love the first half of the book. Lovely build up and Quinn really made me care for the characters. Then it felt like page fillers. Felt like Quinn needed a conflict to make story more interesting but didn’t quite pull it off.
And the end, well, we knew the end. No surprise there.

Good beginning and end

Both narrators did a good job with the story. My problem was with the actual story. For one, it dragged on way too long. The eleventh hour break up felt all too formulaic and unnecessary. I got a bit bored with Sawyer’s translating scenes into screenwriter speak. In fact, it felt like the whole book was written in the hopes it became a screenplay, from the zany side characters who were just a touch overdone, etc. Just too cutsie for me.

Good performance; meh story
