I think he mentioned women only 3 times in this book. Some good content but Jesus we get it, Twitter is bad.

The friendship seemed a bit unrealistic, but loved the second chance romance. And of course, love Maine as a setting.

Loved the romance in this one. Perfect for summer. Made me love my husband even more. Ugh so good.

Really sweet and cozy. Definitely feels like it was written in 1930. Laura obviously idolized Pa and that was kind of grating.

Written in 2021 but apparently the Gen Z daughter posts selfies and pictures of avocado toast? Give me a break

Good but not great. Sometimes the time travel elements were fuzzy. Lots of cliches that made me roll my eyes.

Really loved this one. The character development was well done and even characters I didn’t like at first grew on me. Glen’s story was my favorite. All different types of relationships got realistic representation. How did they never run out of food though? Great setting! Perfect for summer.
