Okay this book is one of those books you want to just crawl into and live there. Which is basically what the FMC did and I want it.

Very cute small town romance, with lots of tidbits in growth and finding oneself. It goes through a lot of tough themes and I like how it was resolved in the end.

I did feel like it was a little too insta-love and definitely took a star off for all the “minty” eye mentions.
But overall a solid comfy read.

Is not that it isn't a good book, I was just expecting more of it. I didn't really connect with the main character that much. It still was interesting and I was curious about how everything would work out, but it didn't connect with my soul. I did love how it homaged dead authors and reminded us that they're still here, as long as someone remembers their work.

This was a cute book! Closed door, but the kisses were steamy.
I liked that Elsy found herself before Anders came to her and that Anders had to find himself before she'd take him. The true love was Elsy with herself, Elsy with Pru, and Elsy with Anders, in that order.
Thoroughly enjoyable, and a great read and happily ever after.

It started out realistic enough, and I know it’s romantasy, but it just got to cheesy for me.
