The New York Times bestselling author returns to Mystic Creek, Oregon, with a story about finding an unforgettable love just around the corner. . . .
When a favorite customer on his delivery route needs a favor, Tanner Richards agrees to help without a second thought. The last thing he expects is to face off against the man's spitfire granddaughter.
Crystal Malloy is near her breaking point. Her beloved grandfather constantly skirts the rules at the retirement center where he's recovering from surgery. She's caring for his escape artist dog, even if it means abandoning her salon customers, and she has no time for a romantic attraction to the handsome new stranger.
After Tanner's reassigned to Mystic Creek, Crystal can no longer ignore how much she misjudged the man's good intentions. She has known too much sorrow to easily open her heart, but she can't deny that Tanner and his children could gift her with a happiness beyond compare--if only she can forgive herself for the past and accept that she's deserving of such a love.

I really donβt know where to start when discussing Spring Forward.
This is an interesting take on second chances both in life and romance with likeable characters and a mischievous pet. I appreciated the fact that Ms. Anderson showed emotional growth for several characters and left everyone better off than how we initially found them.
That said, I had a hard time becoming invested in the story. There are really three interconnected story lines happening at once and there were times when I would be starting to get invested in one part of the story and then the focus would shift. The pace of the story is also fairly slow and there were times when I felt the characters were over explaining their moral stand points.
Spring Forward is a decent book and would probably be a great book for the right reader. Unfortunately, I donβt think I am that reader. This is a book that I just did not click with.
