Cute concept but overall not the best execution. It’s the kind of book where you can let your brain turn off a bit and just enjoy all the silliness that is happening. Would recommend for a fun time but that’s all.

The heroine was kind of dense. The hero was a butthead. They both needed therapy. 

Also,

WOOING SHOULD TAKE MORE THAN ONE DAY! ✋️😭

But it was cute, I guess?? It kept me entertained 🤷‍♀️

This book was so fun! I loved the setting and I adored the characters. Emily’s and Simon’s flaws drove me a little crazy, but in a relateable way. Especially how Emily kept self-sabotaging and over-thinking things. The third act conflict was very believable which I appreciated. It felt like a little bit of a stretch how their relationship evolved throughout the book, but I just wish I saw more of a slow burn/strangers to lovers thing instead of a switch flipping. Though I think it fit Simon’s character and his hot and cold nature that was hard to understand. Part of me feels like the relationship might implode down the line, I wasn’t completely convinced. The banter was fun and I could picture myself at the Faire, and it was just what I was looking for in a late summer romance.

i didnt think the mmc & the fmc interacted enough in the first half, but i still thought they were good together. i liked the large cast of characters, and i liked the ren faire setting much more than i thought i would!! the small town setting, however, is still not my fav. i didnt have any strong feelings abt the writing, but i did think that the conflict needed a little more build up. overall, a super easy, fun, & lighthearted read

It was cute and cheesy but a tolerable amount of cheese.

I could see how all Emily’s second guessing and over complicating things would be annoying but I kind of related. Simon’s extreme grumpiness was over the top and the change from grumpy to lovey was not gradual at all but

overall it was a nice story and an easy read

This book is a love letter to the reniassance faire community (or faire-mily) that is just as accessible and enjoyable to those who haven't experienced it. 
It's fun and funny and sweet and sexy and deeply emotional all tightly laced into a bodice.
