Once Upon An Apple by Gabrielle Landi

adventurous emotional funny hopeful lighthearted sad fast-paced

5.0

       I had so much fun reading this cozy romantic Snow White retelling,and I love the stunning map it truly brought the fantasy world the author Mrs.Landi wrote to life. 

       Once Upon An Apple is perfect for reader who love:
         1.Found family
         2.Small town setting 
         3.He falls first 
         4. Friends to lovers 
         5.Delicious food
         6.Cute baby goats 
   
         Caspian, and Sophia are a cute couple,and I loved how supportive they both are with each other. Loved the moments when Caspian teases Sophia her reactions were very heartwarming. 

        Sophia truly has a heart of gold,and her love of cooking throughout the story is wonderful to see. I wish I could magically appear in the story to eat all of the delicious food.  

         The found family trope in the story is well-executed,and Sophia is very blessed to have wonderful friends who would do anything for her. 

           My favorite part of the story is definitely the romantic, and heartwarming ending. Sophia is a strong young woman with a sad past,but despite her unfortunate circumstance she never stopped being true to herself,and she always shared her heart of gold with everyone. 
    
       Once Upon An Apple is the first book in a series of standalones,and the release date is September 3rd 2024. 

         Thank you Mrs.Landi for the wonderful opportunity to be a part of your arc team,and I truly loved reading Sophia and Caspian's love story.🍎✨️🐐
