What a delightfully cute read!! Definitely one to read during Halloween, but instead of scary it was super adorable!! I love the idea of a Pumpkin Patch Park, not something we'd have in Australia but it sounds awesome!! I'd go there for sure.

I also loved how Deja isn't your stereotypical girly character, and that she's bi-sexual. I loved how she said she didn't fall for people until she spoke to them and then they shimmer. I thought that was a beautiful way of describing someone, and not judging a book by it's cover.

Always a fangirl of Rainbow Rowell ❤️✨

It was a cute and funny story. I want Deja to be my personal motivator! She's an absolute riot! Plus, I wouldn't mind going to eat all the delicious goodies that the Harvest Festival offered. I mean, who wouldn't want to do that?

The relationship between Josiah and Deja was hilarious and I liked how they fed off of one another. Josiah is a shy individual who needs to take a chance in life and Deja just goes with the flow and loves to take risks. It was a good Yin/Yang relationship. Also, the part where Deja was bi made her character more interesting to listen to. She would discuss her old relationships and talk about why she couldn't be with the girl/guy they ran into throughout the story.

The overall lesson to be learned is, learn how to take risks. Don't just wait for something to happen! I thought it was a cute ending and I loved the animation that was put into the book.
