This was a lovely little read. I really enjoyed the main character El and her wild endeavours. There were plenty of moments where I laughed out loud.

I feel this book is more about El's self discovery journey more so than a love story. I just love the idea of setting up a commune of like-minded people and living off the land. Although I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ community I still thoroughly enjoyed the book and their representation. I particularly loved Rosalie and her book that she wrote. As a parent I couldn't imagine loving my child any less or any differently based on who they love/like/want.

Great summer read.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for an advance copy to read and review.

Nuoria city-ihmisiä muuttamassa Englannin maaseudulle ihmissuhdeongelmineen. No ihan noin ei kirjaa ei voi tiivistää, paitsi että voi. 🤭

Hämäännyin ehkä eniten siitä, että Bazar oli valinnut juuri tämän teoksen uuteen Hyvän mielen lukemisto- sarjaansa, jossa on aikaisemmin ollut hieman, kröhm, iäkkäämpien rouvien ja neitojen parisuhdeongelmia. Yleisesti ottaen kiva queer-kansaa edustava, ystävistä rakastavaisiksi asetelmaa rakentava hattara, jonka päähenkilö on kyllä rasittavuuteen asti hieman hömelö ja surkeudellaan ratsastava.

This was a very cozy read. A bit of a slow pace, but I found myself enjoying that. I liked the bits about country life more than the romance, honestly. I think if I'd been reading just for the romance, I would've been more disappointed. As it is, this was a fun ride.
