If you want a book with cozy fall vibes, this is the one. Alice and Jake get off on the wrong foot but after being thrown together time and again, they figure out their feelings and what they want (which is each other). The development of their relationship is natural and Jake is the epitome of “if he wanted to, he would.”
I cannot believe this is Kim’s debut. The writing is really good and makes you feel like you’re in Wilcox Grove. The quirky small town characters (lookin at you Grateful Bob) are a wonderful addition that gives the book some extra pizzazz and keeps you coming back for more. I always love when authors make readers fall in love with the best friends (Piper) and other supporting characters (Heidi, Eli, etc) in books because it goes to show how much love they put into writing.
If you enjoyed If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia and are itching for a similar book, you NEED to read this.
