Story
Lucy Parsons wants absolutely nothing to do with the Westmoore family or the maple syrup they produce. When Sierra Westmoore blows back into town after her father's death and tries to rent a room at Lucy's family's bed-and-breakfast, The Maple Inn, Lucy kicks her out on the spot. It doesn't matter that Sierra hasn't set foot in Maple Run in fifteen years—the Westmoores are not allowed. But small towns don't leave a lot of room to hide, and Sierra and her brother, Drake, have set their sights on improving the town's opinion of them now that their father is gone.

Story
Fun is the one thing Elsie Webb takes seriously. Though she'd be having a lot more of it if Haelstrom Media paid her enough to actually get out of debt. She's determined to hold out on contract negotiations for her kids' television show Fangley Heights until she gets what she deserves. There's only one problem, the head of the network just died and left her future more uncertain than ever. Forty-eight hours and one funeral—that's all Jones Haelstrom has to get through before she can return to her life in LA that's as ordered and sparse as an IKEA showroom.

Story
Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

Publisher's Summary
When Remy's grandmother dies, it means leaving her life in San Francisco and returning to a town she swore she'd never revisit, forced to confront a world she'd worked hard to put behind her over the last twelve years.
She's not expecting that the first girl to ever steal her heart, the pretty, popular Fallon Lewis, is still around, and in a town this small, their paths continue to cross, much to Remy's dismay. It's hard enough seeing her first love, but it's exponentially more difficult when she can barely stand to look at the woman.
Remy's trip back has the possibility to open up doors she believed were shut long ago, but she's never planned on staying, and she definitely never planned on letting Fallon back into her life.
If she thought being a teenager in a small town was hard, she's about to find out how much harder life is when there's no one but herself to blame for her problems.
Contains mature themes.

When Find and Replace Doesn’t Work…
The blonde? The brunette? It felt like the author wrote the manuscript, didn’t have names assigned, and the “find and replace” function didn’t work for the final draft.
Maybe the bald didn’t talk to the redhead and the gray said, “hey, let’s just go with it. Nobody will notice.” (See? Totally annoying, right?)
So noticeable…

Descriptors need to be better
The story was heightened by the performance of Lori Prince. The lack of imagination in descriptions of the main characters definitely could be better. BLONDE /BRUNETTE... This drove me a bit crazy and made it hard to pay attention to the storyline.

Mixed feelings
I mostly enjoyed this book. Likeable characters and decent plot, if a bit predictable. My biggest issue was the OVERUSE of 'the blonde did this' or the 'brunette says this'. The blonde is Fallon and brunette is Remy... why use blonde and brunette instead of first names? It was distracting and confusing at times... took away from the story. Lori Prince was awesome as usual.

A Bit Slow, a little meh
Not one of the better novels by the author. The narration was good, but I sometimes felt I was listening to the same character speaking throughout. Not distinctive enough between the main characters.
Side Note
Berkley and SF in general being the golden land always irks me when used as the place to "Run away" to in novels. Especially these days. Give me middle America any day.

Good but…
I’ve really started to love Monica McCallans’ books, but this one was a struggle. The constant mentioning of hair color was honestly annoying. There are a myriad of ways to describe characters especially when the hair color means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Got tired of the blond vs brunette reference
The book was good. Storyline was interesting. However in the middle it sounded like the narrator changed. But that didn’t bother me much. The thing that got me is that there has to be another way to reference the characters outside of their hair color at every daggone turn. It was exhausting.
