Did I totally cave to the hype of this series? Yup. Are these covers so cozy I wish they were a Mary Poppins chalk drawing I could jump into and wander indefinitely? Also yes.
This book was cute, cozy, and just like eating a cinnamon bun. It was yummy, sweet, and filled me up, but it was not a full meal of a book either.
Hazel and Noah were an adorable couple, this was a true romance novel with character development for each MC that did have depth, and the friendships and vibe of the town were all well thought out and developed, including some diversity with the supporting characters.
I like my romances to have a bit more of a sub plot that addresses a larger issue, which this one doesn't, but that also wasn't the point of this book, and I can respect that if was written to be a sweet book with romance for the sake of romance.
Will I read more books in this series? Oh, yes! I have the Christmas Tree Farm book sitting on my nightstand ready for Christmas season and will definitely be making it part of my holiday reads!
