What I Loved:
- Fast-paced (a bit more plot-driven than character-driven and a quick read).
- Lighthearted with fun characters that were fairly easy to love and enjoy.
- Renaissance Fair fun! (I’ve never been to a Renaissance Fair but this book absolutely convinced me that it’d be a day well-spent!)
- Had a good sprinkling of humor that made me chuckle and smile throughout.
- It gave off the best kind of summer vibes!
What I Didn’t Love:
- Some parts that were a bit unrealistic. (Who declares to be legitimately in love after a handful of meetings? But for the sake of the propose of a fun rom-com, we just suspend our disbelief and lean into the nonsensical.)
Overall:
I don’t usually find romantic comedies to really suck me in much but this one was really heart-warming and the Renaissance Fair aspect was really the real winner here. It engaged my interest in history (AND English - lots of bookish moments in this story as well!) that I was really drawn in and not only curious about the characters and their relationships but the whole Renaissance Fair experience! It was a perfect summer read but with a very unique element that made this rom-com stand out a bit from the “usual faire.”
