Clunky, stilted, almost childish writing.

I enjoyed this book, mainly listened on runs which was perfect cause it was really easy to follow along. A little on the nose at points for me but it also has a certain charm that I became endeared to.

This was a sweet book. No real surprises and the ending was pretty much exactly what I expected, but it was enjoyable reading about Jo, Adelaide, Kye and Fay and following their journeys.

The premise of this book is wonderful, but for me, it just didn’t deliver. It was cute enough, and I enjoyed the characters, but it I wanted so much more.

Just a warm hug in a book. I do recommend for anyone that finds escapism in a book. If you are looking for a bunch of challenging plot points and everything being against the main characters, this is not for you. It is for the person who wants a quick reprieve from uphill battles and needs a reminder that things work out.
