Quite sentimental. Not a lot of twists and turns. The writing is good, but most of the characters feel quite flat. Very pro farm. My main takeaway is that this woman loves farm.

I loved this book. PLEASE give the audiobook narrated by Meryl Streep a listen- it was a must for immersing myself in the story. So well written and developed, it had me devouring the book while also reflecting and asking myself about my own life and desires. i also adored the journey of the narrator’s love of self and self respect.
do i want to live on a cherry farm with my hot devoted husband and iconic three daughters in 30 years? yep

Very slow read, I listened to this as an audiobook, as Meryl Streep reads it. I think if I had read this book I would have got bored, but it felt like Donna of Donna and the Dynamos telling her kids a tale, with the classic giggles from Meryl Streep throughout and it. truly made for such a wonderful experience. This story has a little mystery to it as well, you’re kept hanging by these little comments that keep you wanting more.
