💬 Wow, this was such a satisfyingly good book! It was so heartwarming and emotional.
Originally I was given this as an ebook ARC through NG, but because life got in the way, I ended up listening to the audiobook instead (KU read and listen!) and I really think that made so much difference. If I had just read it I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it so much but the narrator (Mia Hutchinson-Shaw) did an INCREDIBLE job bringing this to life.
It was predictable and a little scattered but I still enjoyed it. That just made it a cozy, easy read which is what I'm looking for sometimes. I'm not a snob about the books I read anymore 😅. And actually, even though I knew the ending, I still got sucked into the will they won't they literally until the very end.
I loved the letter writing class, and the subtle mystery of who is writing Emma letters/sending her flowers.
I also enjoyed watching as Emma figured out who she is and where she's going in her life. I will admit there is a petty Betty part of me that wanted her to be more dramatic and mean about calling out her parents and sister and give them the middle finger but it's probably best that that didn't happen 🤣
And because I'm a sucker for romance I loved Davis, and the whole story line there. I did get a little frustrated with how slowly it moved and I wish there had been more to it overall but it was still enjoyable.
As I said overall I enjoyed this book, but the narrator was the star of the show here. And based on the reviews I think that if people were to listen to it they would have had a better experience �

I'm always a fan of a bookstore. I loved the ensemble cast and all the family drama. I was really drawn in from the start and while there were a few bumpy moments with Emma, but I ultimately liked her growth.
This is another listen that I flew through. It was such an easy listen partially due to the story and also due to Mia Hutchinson-Shaw's narration. She let the story take center stage and I really appreciated that.

Such a sweet read. I LOVED all the little details and the FMC discovering herself in the sweetest small town. At times I did feel it was dragged out a bit but then towards the end I found myself wanting more! I want to read more about Emma and Emily’s bookstore and ALL the details on that and about sweet Virginia 🥹
