After finishing this series, I can wholeheartedly say that Jenny Colgan is one of my new favorite authors. I want to give everyone in this book a big hug and live in this little town.

This was not what I was expecting but it was good! I really enjoyed some of the topics that were brought up like being a black boy/kid and war. I didn’t expect this to be serious. The writing style was kind of odd but it worked. I also thought the two main characters didn’t have enough contact to develop feelings. Oh there’s a trans character which I can’t speak for like the representation but I thought it was good.
