I enjoyed this a lot. The seasonal progression of the chapters made for a lovely experience in this remote little community. MC was well-rounded, but the stakes of his adjustment to this life were very low and not a focus of the novel, so I don't think that his experiences really read as deep character development. The flip side of that is that the humor and easygoing nature of the whole community made for a very relaxing and entertaining read. Looking forward to checking out the next book.
