I have way too many good things to say about this book, I can't even put anything to words. As advertised there are definitely loads of Gilmore Girls vibes which I was so here for from the start. The descriptive writing about the small town gatherings, Vermont scenery, and all the food is so effective in transporting me wherever the characters go. The relationships between the characters and the character development add so much to the story. It's definitely a character-driven book, so if, and only if, all you read are fantasy or action-packed books, then I don't recommend this. Otherwise, I'd recommend this to anybody. I loved that it took place throughout multiple seasons because you get all the cozy holiday vibes. I could go on forever about how much I loved this book, and I can't wait to read anything Louise Miller writes.

At first, I found the pace slow, but midway I couldn't let go of the book. I loved the emotional parts and the overall good feeling I felt while reading the last chapters.

4.5 stars. Dropped half a star because she kept taking about putting her face in his armpit and sniffing.

How many books have been written about a woman starting over in the country/a quiet town working in a romantic job (baking, book store, dress shop)? Quite a lot. This one was done well though. An easy, enjoyable vacation read.
