This is not normally the kind of book I read(usually fantasy) but I loved it. I went to my grandmas house and only brought one book(I know what was I thinking!) and had to borrow this one.
After Carolina's brother dies she goes to Montana to sell his store but ends up staying. To prove everyone wrong that she can run her own store and show Starke that she will not be pushed around. Carolina is such a strong female character and I was rooting for her from the begining.
My favorite character was July by far! He added the humor and I just loved him! The conversations between Carolina and him were funny and sweet and made want to keep reading.
The only thing I didnt really like was the fight at the end. It just seemed forced, but the ending show more made up for that. show less
