This one lost me a few times because the pacing occasionally felt uneven. Still, I appreciated a less romanticised view of rural living, especially as this is a romantic comedy. I always tend to have a less than realistic dream of moving to the countryside, partially because (as the main character notes) London is so anonymous. She likes it because that means any screw ups get lost in the city and not gossiped over by the whole village, but I’ve always found it makes it harder to connect with other people. Then again, who says that’s not hard in a smaller town. People are tricky. Excuse the meandering. I liked that the romance wasn’t really the main focus of the story.
