This book is definitely a passably cute romance read with small-town, autumn flavored vibes if you're looking to scratch that itch. However, it really doesn't offer much more than that. Part of the problem is probably that farmer isn't my type, and neither is big, broody, bearded man, so this book was never gonna dazzle me. I liked Jeanie, the FMC, as a character, I liked the small-town elements like the community and other shop owners, the gossip-fueled book club, the chaotic town hall meeting, etc. I liked the concept of an anxiety-riddled, ex-office-job-having gal trying to pivot her life completely by moving to a small town and taking over her aunt's café. There were definitely nice, cute parts to this. But overall I definitely won't be reading it again, and I probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend. I wasn't a fan of Logan, the MMC, or his backstory. Without any spoilers, I feel like some of the elements driving the conflict in this story are very overblown and dragged out. If you're in a slump and looking to get out of it with something shallow and fall-themed? Give this a whirl. Otherwise you can probably skip it. However, I have already read the second book in this series, and I enjoyed that one much more. So if this one isn't your vibe, just skip the the next one!
