A cute story of girl finding love and herself again after experiencing a crisis of purpose.

•Pro: Super-cute summer romance

•Pro: I really liked getting to know the "real" Milo, and I was glad he found someplace where he could be real.

•Pro: Lots of interesting movie making concepts were shared with us, and I really felt like I was on the set with the characters.

•Con: Jealousy and miscommunication play a role in this story, and I thought Dee needed to tone it down at time.

•Pro: The "crisis of direction" Dee was having was a great aspect of the story. I was really happy with where Morill went with this, and besides, Dee was a great character, who was able to switch gears and use her talent in a different way.

•Pro: I have a thing for small town settings, and Wilder was a pretty nice town to visit.

•Pro: I liked the family interactions. Dee's history geek dad and romance writer mom added some fun to the story, and they were great parents.

•Pro: I am pretty sure we can count what happened near the end as a grand gesture, and I LOVE grand gestures.

•Pro: Thank you very much for the epilogue. It was quite the time jump I would have liked, but it was still good.


But did I mention that there was a grand gesture?

Overall: A cute and fluffy romance, where Dee found love and herself as she found her new direction.
