I loved the small English village setting of this romance as well as the fact that our heroine Evie is managing a local bookstore while she stays in the village. Those aspects really added something special to the story. I didn’t love how immediate and utterly absorbing the connection between our couple was from the very first glance. The third act conflict and the resolution of the book were not done very well either. Overall though I did enjoy most of the story despite having several issues sprinkled throughout.

I have so many mixed thoughts in this book. I love the premise (kinda gave The Holiday vibes), I love the small town cozy feel, I love the main characters (and the dog). However, there were so many side stories and adjacent dramas that it was distracting. Also, the main conflict was predictable and made me roll my eyes. Overall, it was fine. A cute, cozy story.
