Bland, boring, the characters are stereotypical and one dimensional.

Great for fluff lovers!
I adored this book! It was funny from the get-go, and I found myself laughing out loud quite often! There is found family, cottage life completed with chickens and very lovable side-characters!
As a queer person in their late 20s that sometimes daydreams about leaving everything and go to live in the woods, this was very cozy to read! And nothing goes wrong - there were a few things I thought might go very wrong - like
one of the friends abandoning them, or the chickens dying, or someone being a victim of a hate crime...
. There was even redemption arcs where I didn't expect them!
The central story is more about this found family of 4 people, I think: they move from London to a village 45min by train, they adopt chickens and they are happy in their new life and new acquaintances. The romance that is mentioned in the blurb is present but mostly has an probably unrequited thing for most of the novel - 
I'd actually would have preferred if they didn't end up together, I think, even if their scenes at the end are very cute; quite shocked that they did end up together really

Other things: I really enjoyed the tone and I thought the writing flowed really well. 

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC.  I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Off I go to order my own copy!

V cute fluff but I wish there was more to it!

This was a good book. Mostly lighthearted and a feel good story. It's about growth and leaving your comfort zone and making your own happiness. It's about getting out of ruts that pop up in life and friendships that turn into family.

There were some small things that bothered me but not once did I feel like I wanted to dnf. It was a quick read and the writing flowed very well.

Love the fact that chickens were named after Twilight characters (an obsession I had as a teen). Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read the earc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
