My review

Daisy May finally believes she has it all together. Her coffee shop at the Wildflower Lock is running well, and she and Theo are deeply in love. And when Theo pops the question, Daisy is over the moon. However, being engaged means that she finally has to meet Theo’s family for the first time.
Despite all of the good intentions Daisy has, and her willingness to show her from her best side, Theo’s parents aren’t really welcoming her with open arms. On the contrary, they make sure that Daisy and Theo both know that they don’t approve of her… They even go that far to reveal some secrets that Daisy didn’t know about.
Secrets that only add to the doubts that are suddenly arising, together with the doubts Daisy’s own mother is expressing…
Doubts that can jeopardize everything Daisy and Theo have been building up. So will their love be strong enough to overcome it all, or not?

I was eager to read this next chapter, especially as now Daisy and Theo are a steady couple, still deeply in love. They even share custody in a way of the newest addition in the form of a lovely dog!

Of course I knew the characters already, yet they both manage to keep on surprising me, both in good ways, but also not so good ones…

Daisy and Theo are the kind of characters that deserve each other, as they have both worked hard to get where they are now in their lives. And having found each other, after some struggles, and seeing them so happy, truly warmed my heart.
I nearly swooned reading how Theo proposed Daisy, as it is just so characteristic of him, and also that he really knows Daisy, and knows what will please her or what not.

I was a bit surprised to read that Daisy hasn’t met Theo’s parents yet. However, once I got to know them too, I could have loved not knowing them at all! I cannot understand how people can be like that. And how on earth did Theo turn out to be the lovely man with such parents?

When those same parents reveal some secrets, I was just like Daisy initially very angry. The secrets are those of the kind that Theo perhaps should have thought twice about them, and about telling Daisy about them. But after some thinking about it, for me it didn’t feel like they were such a great deal…
Yes, Theo is perhaps being a typical man, not seeing things or reading the signs, but we know his heart, so I could not stay angry at him for too long.

On the other hand, I found Daisy a bit of a frustrating character at times. At the start of the book, she knows she has a good thing with Theo. Yet slowly we see her doubting everything. And if those doubts came from herself, it would be understandable, but she lets the opinions of others question her everything. And that angered me, because she *knows* Theo and she loves him.

Even if that frustrated me, it also made both characters very realistic. Because making mistakes is human, but also let people cloud your own judgement is human.

Hannah Lynn wrote a great sequel of this series. A sequel that shows the beauty of love, but also the doubts and insecurities of life. Perhaps it wasn’t always as easy to like the main characters all the time, but wrong choices, wrong decisions and wrong opinions are part of life. And it’s up to the characters, up to us in real life, to make the right choices and the right decisions, and to listen to your heart.
