The first autumnal book is finished!

I love this book because it shows the importance of fighting for what you love and deserve. It’s about Willow, who will do anything to save their farm from bankruptcy.

What I like:

- Small town.

- Everyone knows everybody.

- supportive neighbors.

- Cozy autumn vibes.

- mentions pumpkin spice lattes and other seasonal drinks and pies.

- Pumpkins

- and a lot more.

But what almost turns me off is the lengthy discussion of just the preparations for the pumpkin patch's opening. I became somewhat bored. Just a bit! I still couldn't put it down.

Also, I'm not particularly invested in the romance subplot; I didn't feel the strong chemistry.

The book had a slow start, but when it picked up around 75%, I was so entertained that I didn't realize I was nearing the end. The book flows particularly well near the end. It's beautifully wrapped up!

A cozy, comforting, and warm-hug book to read during the fall; pair it with your perfectly blended pumpkin spice latte and expertly baked pumpkin pie. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books!
