Sometimes you read a book by an author you love and the only thing you can really say about it is that it's not the book for you. I am obviously a huge fan of this author, and I don't regret reading this book in large part because it's the first book of a trilogy and I absolutely adored the second book in this series, but the setup of the story just really didn't work for me. In part that's because the book starts well after the main couple in the story has already become friends, and while I can often enjoy a friends-to-romance story, in this particular story there was just no there there. The pacing of the reveals about Clem, one of the main characters who's got a bunch of family secrets that are relevant to the entire trilogy, felt really off to me, and I never quite felt the way I thought I was supposed to about his romance with Rowley, a taxidermist with a heart of gold. It just wasn't for me.
