This book was not it for me. I felt like everything was kind of rushed, and the progression of their relationship felt weird/unnatural. I also felt like her grief was just weirdly intertwined with the loss of her dad, and it didn't work for me.

Full of autumnal vibes, loved the romance, and it has that happily ever after.


This book was a shot of hope. The concept was amazing. I did manage to figure out the plot twist, but it was still very enjoyable. I adored the characters, teh fmcs chaos and the sterness of the mmc. The secondary characters were also amazing and fleshed out. The humour was so corny, but that's what made it amazing. That ending felt like a warm hug

Yes this is a romance book but grief is certainly a main topic covered, just be prepared. Magical realism is at play here so if you like that sort of thing (I love it) then you may enjoy this one. 

I have to say I just didn’t fall in love with the two love interests in this story as much as I really wanted to.Most of the book takes place in a small town in South Carolina , in preparation for a funeral.
