Mylie and Ben have been best friends since they met at recess in elementary school. Each was raised by single parents, or in Mylie’s case, mostly by her “Granny,” as everyone in the small town of Clay Creek, Arkansas called her. After high school graduation, they went their separate ways, with Ben going to Chicago for college and Mylie staying in Clay Creek, where she built her fishing shop from the ground up. But she and Ben left a piece of their lives unfinished, and when he comes back to sell his grandfather’s house, which is right across the street from Mylie’s, feelings are quickly stirred up. As summer begins, their newfound adult relationship slowly buds and builds. While the timeline can feel somewhat disjointed in the story, enjoyable new memories are made, including an unforgettable bingo tournament, complete with swinging pearls, close calls with walkers, and a neighborhood cell-phone-stealing raccoon debacle.
VERDICT Noblin (Christmas at Corgi Cove) offers a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance, perfect for fans of small-town charmers and authors such as Sarah Adams.
