I liked this! Not as much as the first. I struggle with the miscommunication trope and all the feelings there just not telling each other. I wish this was a tad shorter, I started to get bored of the repetitive talk of the same feelings but not doing anything about it. If not shorter, I wished we saw more of Beckett and Evelyn together, just hanging out. The story was very sweet and simple! I love the cats and the duck and the side characters.

Let me start off by saying, I was SO excited for this book because I absolutely ADORED Beckett in Lovelight Farms. Him and Layla were my favorites! 

Imagine the let down when Evelyn was the romantic love interest and really getting to know her was such a bore. These two are not compatible. They are boring together. Our Cat Daddy Garden HImbo deserved so much better. 

I gotta say I loved some of the things in this book. Like was that autism representation? Possibly depression? I love to see characters who are relatable and not just same bland copy and paste. 

I do not recommend the audiobook. If you’re going to read this to get through the series go with the physical/ebook. The audiobook is horrendous. Both narrators are so bland. No real emotion behind anything. Maybe that’s why I hated the characters in this so much!

ugh i'm dnfing. I TRIED OK. i just couldn't do it. too much detail, not enough story or plot. beck is cute, but my issue lies with evie. is she african american? is she latino? indian ??? why mention brown skin if you're not going to say anything more about it? it kept throwing me off honestly. as a biracial woman, i'm very confused and would have loved more culture involved or familial references. SOMETHING.

also this book could have probably been 200 pages and still got the job done. i couldn't make it. maybe i'll try again later but it just wasn't doing the job. i'm sad

The entire conflict in this book could have been resolved by a conversation, which made the book tedious to finish. I enjoyed the main characters separately, but they didn’t seem to have much in common aside from mutual physical attraction to one another.

I’ll give this book an extra star for the dreamy small-town setting, kittens, and duck though
