DID NOT FINISH: 30%

I just couldn’t get into the characters. It could have possibly been because I had just read the first 4 books of Jenny Colgan Mure series and was loving all those characters and it was surprising when this book is the next in the series but had a whole new cast of characters. I might pick it back up at some point and see if I have a different experience.

jenny colgan manages to write these incredibly cute books set in the most charming of places. while i liked the sequel (close knit) a lot more, as it plays a lot more into the small town life and the scenery of the area (small scottish northern islands), i did also enjoy this a lot. it had some classic romance tropes, but used them very well. it doesn't stand out in the romance genre as much as close knit does, but it's a charming story in it's own right. if you're looking more for a classic romance with some cheesy tropes, set in the scottish northern isles & featuring a strongheaded pilot and a reclusive grumpy but kind man, definitely pick this up.

p.s. the food descriptions in this book are TO DIE FOR. every food is described so deliciously, i could almost smell it. made me very very hungry.

5.0

For me, this is all about the landscape and the creation of sensory experience. Jenny Colgan is a master at completely immersing readers in the worlds of her characters. Finishing this book was like ending a vacation in an area of natural beauty and not wanting to go. I give this 5 stars despite feeling that the plot was thin. It felt secondary to the experience of visiting the characters’ world.
