"I know, the way the trees know they're rooted to the ground, that I'm rooted to you. That no matter your answer here this evening, I am yours until I'm nothing but dust in the wind. Maybe even then."

I loved Much Ado About You and could not understand why more people weren't raving about it. What wasn't to love about this feel-good romance featuring an incredibly charming farmer and his dog (who stole the show)? It was a delightful read, including themes of found family, female friendship, and finding your voice. Seriously, what is keeping people from loving this book?

Ah, yes… that third act break up//conflict stage of the book began, and I understood. It took such a strange and unexpected turn. I did not understand Evie's problem, and it took away from the magic of the story. Much Ado About You would have been a five-star read without the unnecessary conflict stage.

I recommended reading Much Ado About You if you're looking for a charming romance and don't mind a bit of unnecessary drama.
