What I Loved:
- Fairly fast-paced but took a bit to really get into the fun parts of the Renaissance Fair (nearly almost halfway), so it was slow going at first.
- Lighthearted with fun characters that were fairly easy to love and enjoy, with plenty of returning characters.
- The Renaissance Fair aspects are completely my favorite!
What I Didn’t Love:
- Some parts that were a bit unrealistic as with the first of this series. (Again, declaring love very quickly! But again, for the sake of the propose of a fun rom-com, we just suspend our disbelief and lean into it.)
- This one didn’t quite have the same amount of charm as the first one of the series and it took a bit to get going (the first almost half of the book was much slower and had little to do with Renaissance Fair things).
Overall:
While this one wasn’t quite as fun and charming as it’s predecessor, it was still a cute summer read. It was enjoyable revisiting the town and its cast of characters in the throes of Renaissance Fair season and I wish we had gotten a little bit more of that.
