lighthearted mysterious relaxing slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

 I was honestly waiting to be moved by something in this book but it never happened. While I liked the seasonal description and dialogue there was definitely depth and nuance missing. Probably just because the book is older.
