My Summary of Something of Note:

Thanks #NetGalley Littleford House Books @BookSirens and the author for a complimentary e ARC of #SomethingOfNote upon my request. All opinions are my own.

Nora is recently divorced and because she worked for her ex husband and is unemployed she decides this is the perfect time to visit her uncle and help him with his struggling music business in small town Cataluma, California. She reunites with Eugene whom she hasn’t seen since childhood. Eugene is her uncle’s stepson and they work together to save the music store.

My Thoughts:

Tropes

I love the friends to lovers, second chances, small town romance, and saving the shop tropes in Something of Note. Yes, tropes are predictable but in the best ways when you’re searching for an UpLit read.

Sweet Romance

A small town sweet romance is sometimes the right read at the right time. Eugene is five years older than Nora and her secret teenage crush. Eugene is a free spirit and has never committed to a long-term relationship. Could his growing attraction to Nora, cause him to reconsider his nomadic and footloose lifestyle?

UpLit Recommendation

Although life has dealt these two some disappointments, the trauma and drama is minimal. So, if you love music and you’re looking for a light, closed door romance set in a small, friendly town, with a lovely HEA, I can recommend this sweet UpLit, second chances story.

Related: I’ve also read and reviewed Repositioning by the same author (Goodreads).
