This book was like a warm mug of hot chocolate on a winters day. Very cliche, girl moves to small town, falls for the hot local but it just filed me with so much love and happiness. The characters were adorable and the town is somewhere we all want to live. Perfect if you want a cute romance read

If I would have had the time, I would have devoured this in one sitting. A great cozy, low-stakes, Hallmark autumnal book to lose oneself in.

 The book was very realistic, like it could happen
I liked the little mystery and trying to guess who it was

Listen — you gotta go into this book knowing it’s a spicy-ish book version of a Hallmark Movie. Now that you know what to anticipate, adjust your expectations accordingly and enjoy this small-town, Gilmore Girls vibe rom-com

I love a cute grumpy/sunshine story especially where you add love in a small town, nosy but caring neighbours and a coffee shop where you can gladly enjoy a pumpkin spice latte. Small town and sunshine/grumpy stories are becoming my favourite tropes recently. It’s so endearing, so lighthearted and it makes happy. It’s also perfect for spring and summer.

The first time I saw this book I was automatically attracted by the cover that was so colourful and I was in for a ride. I’ve never heard of it before buying it and I don’t regret it. It’s so cute and you can not not get attached to Jeannie, Logan, Hazel, Annie, Noah; even the mayor and Mac with his trivia nights. It’s so heartwarming and I’m in love with this mood. 

I’d you’re looking for a sweet slow burn and following a FMC looking for a fresh start in a small town, let me tell you that you’re going to love this book. 🥹🥹
