3.5! A fun and Austen-esque character study. I sometimes found my mind wandering but overall a great spring read.

Reading The Enchanted April felt like taking a little vacation for the soul. It's a humorous and heartwarming story about four women who escape their everyday lives—and in some cases, their husbands—to spend a month in an Italian castle. What begins as a simple getaway slowly becomes a journey of self-discovery, healing, and unexpected friendship.

I loved how each character brought something different to the table, and I especially connected with Lottie and her quiet, intuitive strength. Her almost psychic sense of things added a magical touch to the story.

I listened to the audiobook version, beautifully narrated by Robin Siegerman. She did a wonderful job with the voices—so much personality and distinction across characters of different genders and ages. It made the story even more immersive.

This book is a gentle reminder of the power of taking time for yourself, and how transformative it can be when women come together to support and uplift one another.
