This book is so perfect for fall! It just gets you in the mood for caramel apples, pumpkin carving and warm blankets! I absolutely love the illustrations in this book! They are so cozy and cute! The story was sweet too. Although, I could have done with a little more build up
to the twist.
I laughed out loud a few times! I really enjoyed the chemistry between Deja and Josiah. Something I've noticed is that a few of the same references come up in almost all of Rainbow's books: Omaha, John Denver, "cool, cool, cool", etc. Overall I would recommend this book! (Also it seems to fit a wide range of audiences. I feel like middle grade all the way up to young adult--or older--would enjoy this book!)
