My Oxford Year

It was a cute, albeit a little sad, story of falling in love quickly and deeply. Some familiar tropes and classic archetypal characters. But it was touching and enjoyable, and having Oxford as a backdrop is really nice and I thought the author did a strong job of painting the setting for those unfamiliar with Oxford. I did find the main character a bit annoying at times but overall worth rooting for.
