They say life can change in an instant…

After losing her sister in a devastating car accident, chef Quinn Weller is finally getting her life back on track. She appears to have it all: a loving family, a dream job in one of L.A.'s hottest eateries, and a gorgeous boyfriend dying to slip an engagement ring on her finger. So why does she feel so empty, like she's looking for a missing piece she can't find?

The answer comes when a lawyer tracks down Quinn and reveals a bombshell secret and a mysterious inheritance that only she can claim. This shocking revelation washes over Quinn like a tidal wave. Her whole life has been a lie.

On impulse, Quinn gives up her job, home, and boyfriend. She heads up the coast to the small hometown of Wildstone, California, which is just a few hours north, but feels worlds apart from Los Angeles. Though she doesn't quite fit in right away, she can't help but be drawn to the town’s simple pleasures…and the handsome, dark-haired stranger who offers friendship with no questions asked.

As Quinn settles into Wildstone, she discovers there's another surprise in store for her. The inheritance isn't a house or money, but rather something earth shattering, something that will make her question everything she thought she knew about herself, about her family. Now with a world of possibilities opening up to Quinn, she must decide if this new life is the one she was always meant to have—and the one that could finally give her the fulfillment she's searched so long for.

Review

This book follows Quinn on her road to self-discovery. Quinn lost her sister recently in a car accident and just feels lost in her life. She is going through the motions, but doesn’t seem to be putting much effort past that. One day she gets a surprise visit and finds out about an inheritance in Wildstone. Quinn now needs to figure out what she is going to do with her life.

I loved that the author could put humor into the book while dealing with such a heavy topic of loss. The author did a great job keeping the story light while also dealing with heavier topics. I never felt overwhelmed while reading, but just wanted to continue and hoped for the best for each character.

Quinn by far is an amazing main character. She is young; just turning 30 and has no idea what she wants out of life. Quinn is taking each new opportunity with stride and focusing on figuring out what she wants, while also not trying to run away scared. I loved that the author made Quinn feel so real. I could totally relate to Quinn and her struggles. I do feel she doesn’t give herself enough credit for her ability to keep going as well as her ability to think things through.

The romance that sparks up between Quinn and Mick is adorable. The author does a great job creating the dynamic between them because at first there is some miscommunication and it needs to get straightened out. I love that Quinn could open up to Mick about her life and I really felt that they had a deep connection almost instantly.

I loved the relationship that the author created between Quinn and her sister Beth who she lost in the car accident.

I can’t think of anything specific I didn’t love in the book. The book was very nicely paced and kept moving along. I wanted to know what was going to happen to everyone in the book and was rooting for all the characters because even with some flaws I wanted everyone to end up happy.

I would suggest this as a beach read. I found it difficult to put this book down and was easier to read when I had a longer amount of time to read.

I received a copy of this book from Inkslinger PR to provide an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of this book.

My Rating: 5/5

Excerpt

To say that Tilly had had a bad day, a bad week, a bad month was an understatement. But as she stared down from the tree house, looking into a face that so resembled her own, somehow, in spite of not being able to breathe, she managed to find her voice. “I don’t need you,” she said, hating that she sounded thin and quivery, like she’d been crying.

She had not been crying.

At least not that she would admit to.

She hadn’t been in the tree house in a while. Not since she’d gone through a rough patch at school when the girls had been bitches and the teachers jerks, and her mom had been on her about her grades, and all she’d wanted to do was make herself invisible. But no matter how much she’d wished for superpowers, including invisibility, they’d never come.

So she came here to vanish. The tree itself was tall and stable, and it always protected her. She’d named it Kevin.

Kevin had come through for her more than anyone else, with the exception of her mom.

The first time she’d sat up here, her mom had freaked out and called the cops to report her missing. When they’d found her, her mom had gotten a ladder and climbed up to the tree house, and with tears in her eyes she’d said, “Don’t fly away from me yet, darling, I’m not ready.”

After that, Tilly always had told her mom whenever she’d needed to be invisible and her mom had understood.

But now she was gone. There’d been no one left to give a shit if she disappeared or not. Especially not Quinn, a mysterious sister she hadn’t even known about. “I don’t need you,” she repeated.

“Well, that’s fair,” Quinn said. “I don’t like to need anyone either. You going to come down so we can talk?”

“No.”

“Is there a ladder?”

“It rotted.”

“Okay then.” And to Tilly’s shock, Quinn inhaled deeply and then began to climb the tree herself. “Yikes, they’re some seriously gigantor ants.”

“And killer squirrels,” Tilly said.

Maybe two whole feet off the ground, Quinn froze, looking terrified. “Killer squirrels?”

“They throw acorns with deadly accuracy,” Tilly said. “And the kamikaze blue jays are vicious, so watch out.”

Quinn searched the tree with concern, making Tilly laugh for the first time in a long time. “Are you afraid of squirrels and blue jays?”

“Of course not,” Quinn said. “I’m afraid of killer squirrels and kamikaze blue jays. In fact, there’s a squirrel starting at me right now with beady, shifty little eyes.”

“City girl.”
