Take It or Leaf It by Laney Hatcher

funny hopeful relaxing

5.0

If you're not a Laney Haycher fan now, you definitely will be after reading Take It or Leaf It. This 5 ⭐️ read had me wanting to pack up and move to Kirby Falls. Laney's writing just has a way of sucking you in and bringing everything to life. A grumpy dog, four leaf clovers, found family - the list goes on. I love Will, Becca, and the cast of characters in their lives. RUN TO GET YOUR COPY!!!!

Reading this book was like stepping into a fairytale! It seriously had me wanting to go galavanting through the French countryside to look for my prince charming (with a good side of grumpy). It is a slow burn that has a happy ever after. It was so sweet. If cats, alpachas, pools, and wine catch your attention, check this book out!

Seeing larger bodies and POCs on the page was a treat. And who doesn't like a PLAYLIST??!!! Yes, please! 

I thought it was a slow start, but when it picked up, BAM! Really loved the tension and chemistry between Rian and Aditi!

Very glad they had everyone's name at the beginning on the chapters - would have been hard to keep track of otherwise. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing.
