I made sure to reign in my expectations before starting this one because I know all too well how popular books tend to disappoint when the expectations are too high. And honestly, this was a lot of fun. At the beginning, Emily irritated me a little bit, but she grew on me after. I loved the villagers, they were so precious. 
This book definitely sucked me in, and I found myself wanting to pick it up whenever I was not reading. It was all in all just a solid read, and I will definitely be continuing with the series.

The felt fairly cozy, low stakes conflict, not sure if that was the intent. Loved watching the MCs' relationship blossom from work rivals to lovers, thoroughly enjoyed reading the side characters too.

I really need authors who have never maintained a journal or diary to stop trying to write epistolary books. It's okay to just write a first-person narrative! You can even make each new chapter a day! Absolutely no one writes in their journal the way Emily Wild does and it bothered me the entire time - if I hadn't waited four months for my library hold to come though I would have DNFed it.
