In memory of Cedar Key

I am reposting this as Cedar Key is now uninhabitable due to the destruction of Hurricane Helene.

When hubby and I were dating, we would drive up to the quaint little town of Cedar Key and eat a fabulous seafood dinner. The food was always delicious and plentiful and the atmosphere was charming. We would relish the Cabbage Palm salad, fried shrimp or grouper and top it off with Key Lime Pie.

It has been many years since we visited again, but it sure seems like the masses have found this little hide away town.

Johnson's restaurant is long gone, so we tried the newer Seabreeze.

Although it offered an amazing view, the food was an average seafood menu. I can guess catering to the tourist crowd is never the same as when they mostly fed hometown residents 

 There is a lot of Florida history buried in Cedar Key. Driving across the causeway brought back many memories of this small fishing community.

So Into You

 

The story surrounds Britt Branch, an influencer who has social anxiety. She lives her life doing art on YouTube with a huge following.

Hunter Pickett has pulled himself out of alcoholism and drug addiction. He works for a Warehouse and lives with a roommate, although he actually comes from a wealthy family. He comes across Britt's art channel and becomes fascinated with her ability. He decides to try his hand at an art project. While acquiring his needed supplies, he meets Britt and a friendship develops.

A sweet slow burn rom-com. The dialogue made me laugh. And the ending, when all the secrets are exposed, was a good conclusion for this story. Forgiveness, second chances, family issues, and reconciliation benchmark this story.
