This book was so fun! I loved the setting and I adored the characters. Emily’s and Simon’s flaws drove me a little crazy, but in a relateable way. Especially how Emily kept self-sabotaging and over-thinking things. The third act conflict was very believable which I appreciated. It felt like a little bit of a stretch how their relationship evolved throughout the book, but I just wish I saw more of a slow burn/strangers to lovers thing instead of a switch flipping. Though I think it fit Simon’s character and his hot and cold nature that was hard to understand. Part of me feels like the relationship might implode down the line, I wasn’t completely convinced. The banter was fun and I could picture myself at the Faire, and it was just what I was looking for in a late summer romance.
