4.0

I really really liked this! It could have been five stars, but the story ends sort of abruptly. But as it is, it's a solid four. One of my favorite parts is Pax going to the library to read a book about apple picking before their date in an orchard. (Even though he's been apple picking before, aww.) I like this series for unconventional HEAs, and while I didn't need a whole years later epilogue, I would've liked another chapter maybe.
