I felt really read by this book: needing to leave a big city, a protagonist going beyond her shyness to make her dreams come true, and a romance that very much reflects my own ideals.. I kinda feared that this would be a boring and empty read, but I was very pleasantly surprised by this soothing and calm story set in a charming place. After thinking about it for a while I do think it's really unrealistic, but whatever I love idealisation (#infp things). Only hiccup: why do they suddenly decide to fuck each other for 20 pages in the last 20 pages of the book. what was that for. where did that come from
