The two characters were so cute. The story felt pretty flat most of the time and I feel like a few characters could’ve been flushed out a little more (would’ve loved to experience more Blake and the side characters) but overall a cute small town romance story :)

Title really needs work. Overall, the story is cute. The town is adorable. It’s a sapphic hallmark movie for sure. Writing was very basic. It’s not great literature, just a cute fall vibes love story.

The writing is so unnecessarily descriptive 
“Dan waved at me and I waked back”
“She asked for her numbers, and I read them to her, she put them on her phone and she pressed the call button and called her”. I feel like the book spent time describing everything and movement than interactions and I’m only like 6 chapters in 
“My phone rang, I picked it up” I know these may be small in comparison but just detailing every action just seems weird. 

Also if you are such a successful influencer, as she claims, how is she broke to the point that she cannot afford candles only after a few weeks of not getting sponsors 🤧🤷🏽‍♀️.

But the book was delightful and their interactions with each other worked. However I feel like I don’t know them beyond them being together and the moments we got. They never talked to anyone besides Amanda and George , not even their parents or siblings. (I don’t think we actually even know the all the siblings names). Because of this, I couldn’t say I liked it didn’t like either of them cause I just didn’t know them 🤷🏽‍♀️. So much was said and yet nothing was said.

It was a good enough book that I just needed to read to try and get over my slump because it was short enough. I do not typically listen to audiobooks that are around 6 hrs because there’s never depth (Besides Robin Alexander)

That epilogue was so anti climactic (so it that a yes? Feels like it was just included because why not 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣
