Let's Give 'em Pumpkin to Talk About is a fun, low-stakes read that is perfect for that cozy autumn vibe. The characters are quirky and amusing, while also having a deeper, well-established background. 

I really enjoyed the countdown to the big event at the beginning of each chapter, as there are some time jumps by weeks, and it helped me to not get lost. I do wish there had been a bit more build up during those times instead of such a big jump (one as much as 18 days). 

I also wish, at parts, the writing had focused on showing what the characters were going through via their actions and reactions rather than telling us via their inner monologue. 

Overall, this was a relatively quick, enjoyable read that is great for anyone looking for fall vibes, banter, and a happily ever after.
