Moderate: Death of parent, Alcohol, and Grief
One of the recurring topics is the brother of one of the main characters, whom he lost to a terminal illness some years prior. It is not explored in depth, but the resulting grief continually impacts the character. The topic is handled well but may still be difficult to read for those experiencing similar loss.kdailyreads's review

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the main characters Emily and Simon. They’re both people I would like to be friends with in real life. They’re funny, caring, organized, and like reading and history. The relationship between the two of them was fun and heart-warming to see develop. The supporting characters were also well-developed and entertaining, and I found myself wishing Willow Creek was a real place I could visit. I definitely want to go to a Renaissance Faire sometime in the future now! Maybe I’m even motivated to try to read some Shakespeare again?? Absolutely I am looking forward to reading more of Jen DeLuca’s writing, particularly this series!

As a Ren Faire fan, I really liked this setting. The story was fun and lighthearted. I enjoy a romance novel because they usually have a predictable plot and happy ending and thats what I needed so thats what I liked about this.
