Hope Sawyer is a 25yr old and she flips house’s for a living. She’s worked hard to get where she is today. Hope’s been in a relationship for a few year’s. Hope has settled and just going from day to day. Until one night her boyfriend comes home and pick’s a fight with her that escalates. Hope breaks up with him.
Hope pack’s a bag and let’s him know she’s leaving and he has a week to get his stuff outta her house. Hope drive’s around aimlessly until she see’s a small town called Hope River. She doesn’t get very far into town when she see’s a rundown down for sale.
The house has been vacant for years, Falling down and it’s calling her. Hope buy’s it and call’s her brother Charlie who work’s with her to come and flip it with her.
The town is small and everybody knows everyone and everyone knows everyone’s business. By lunchtime Hope has been tops by everyone in town they’re excited to see what she does to the house. There was one town resident that knocked the wind outta Hope the minute she saw him.
River Lockwood is a blast from the past. Hope met River when they were in high school. But, not too long after they met River moved due to his dad’s job. Over the next few year’s River and Hope would run into each other. The last time they saw each other it didn’t end well and Hope isn’t happy to see River.
Neither Hope or River were expecting to see the other one. Hope is definitely not happy but River is beyond happy to see her. River became an electrician and owns his own business and came to offer his services to the new owner of the house. He let’s Hope know he want’s to help as well as start over. Even though Hope tells him absolutely not, River promise’s to wait as long as it take’s for Hope to give them another shot.
This was such a greatstory!! I loved how the town folks were involved in the renovations. They were adamant Hope not tear it down. Even though her brother was vocal about blowing it up LOL. But, for Hope the house spoke to her. She wanted to keep it and rebuild it. Hope wanted to make it bigger and better them before while keeping it original.
Hope kept telling everyone once the house was done she was selling it and moving onto the next one and she wasn’t staying. Elle, the realtor, owner of the diner, who became friend’s with Hope that she said she wasn’t staying in Hope River but she’s never left.
River and Hope go from hot to cold. River keep’s trying to get Hope to see how good they could be together. Hope keep’s fighting with herself and her feeling’s. If she can’t get her head and heart on the same page she could loose River for the last time.
I’m so excited for Elle and Jake’s story next. Then Charlie and Tabitha after that. One of my favorite character’s in this story was Gran to the townspeople and May to Hope and Charlie. She had me Lmao one minute and had me crying the next. I’m excited Margaret is giving us more of Hope River to look forward to.
