I LOVED THIS BOOK!
Tarah did it again. She executed Savor It flawlessly. I believe it's my new favourite Tarah DeWitt book.
Tarah has this beautiful writing style that is easily digestible. I felt fully immersed in this world and wholly invested in Sage and Fisher's story. Additionally, I was so heavily invested in the side characters that made up this wonderful little town and I found myself begging for books for each of them as well!
Sage Byrd and Fisher Lange are absolute perfection together. Their easy chemistry and compatibility was entirely believable. These are the type of characters that you want to read endless epilogues about their happiness of just living life together. They each had a well developed and flawlessly executed character arc with wonderful growth.
Fisher has lost nearly everything and is trying to balance rediscovering his love of cooking, getting his feet back on the ground after his career as a chef crumbled, navigating guardianship of his orphaned teenaged niece while managing his own grief after his sister died. I absolutely loved how dynamic Fisher's character was. On top of all that, he was regularly attending therapy and found himself falling for the local girl, even though his stint in the small town is temporary. He was the grumpy, brooding chef who was struggling to find direction, but he was also not afraid to be emotionally supportive and was comfortable crying in front of Sage. All around, a 10/10 book boyfriend.
Sage is the darling of the town. She is the incredibly likeable, fun and quirky girl that the locals will protect at all cost. But she still has so much depth. She can be silly and fun, but can get down and serious too. She is also an orphan which allows for a unique connection with Fisher's niece. Although she has older brothers who helped raise her, Sage was the the only girl and the baby of the family. She is the epitome of "it takes a village" and had to find ways to create her own solice in places like the library.
The love story between Sage and Fisher was soft and sweet but so fun, flirty and hot at the same time. There were so many profound and quotable moments. I love Tarah DeWitt's writing, she is a true talent and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
