Another cute little romance, loveable main character a little hard to handle her Biggest Flaw, but cute movie about learning to be yourself and find love that accepts you. Ok watch but not great. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/15/2021

Erika Christensen played Bailey, a public high school English or language arts teacher. She arrived with her dogs at diner at closing time in a wedding dress. She begins to tell the story of what happened to Joyce Dewitt's Nikki and the diner owner Louie. It's a sweet tale with not much saccharine like other Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. It's a nice sweet overall film about relationships. The cast do a great job. I wished the storyline was better told though. The characters are somewhat developed more than most in these kind of films without using cheap tricks to engage the viewers. I am a Joyce Dewitt fan so I enjoyed her performance as Nikki. We don't see enough of her in film and television.

I would almost call this an anti-romance story. It is more about bad boyfriends and breaking up than about falling in love. It certainly isn't the typical formula for Hallmark.

Bailey is a very likable girl. How can you not like her. She becomes whatever you want her to be. And she has a nice personality and is very giving. Don't forget she loves dogs.

But Bailey totally demeans herself for her potential boyfriends in the sense that she doesn't stand up for herself. As I said, she becomes whatever they want her to be. She takes up running for #1, but not because she likes it. She becomes a Jazz lover and tries to read what looked like a thousand page book for #2. And she becomes a total wimp for #3.

The one we presume she finally ends up with, she barely knows, and neither does the viewer. We had no chance to see a relationship develop beyond their mutual love of dogs.

Piece of trivia - Bailey gushes about the book Wuthering Heights to her students. Erika Christensen appeared as Cate in the TV movie.

It is an interesting and somewhat different story. I wanted to like it. But by the last 45 minutes (of 2 hr. TV time) I couldn't stand to watch her give herself away any more.
