Reread October 2024: This was somehow a lot more enjoyable the second time around. Maybe since I had zero expectations? Either way, I found myself warming to this little town and its inhabitants in a way I hadn’t in my previous read. I still don’t think it’s anything mind blowing but it was rather lovely. 


This wasn’t outstanding by any means. It was very copy and paste/basic in its plot, romance, setting etc. however, it was cute and fun and I really am a sucker for a small town farmer and an alpaca called harry styles. 

Did this blow me away? Nope.
Will I remember it in a week? Probably not.
Will I read the sequel? Most likely. It was fun, quick and easy to read and despite how much I don’t get on with instalove, sometimes a girl just needs basic.
