i loooove ashley poston’s creative, magical, whimsical stories, but this was my least favorite of her books 😔

i do think fans of gilmore girls or virgin river will enjoy this one – it’s perfect for anyone who wishes they could somehow live inside the fictional towns they love! 

it took me a bit to connect with the magic of this one, but it did slowly grow on me as things settled into place. i had guesses about what twists this plot would deliver, and they didn’t end up being right (but honestly, they might have made it better if they had been?). 

having LOVED poston’s first book, and really liking her second, i was a bit disappointed that this one didn’t have QUITE the same sparkle, but i did end up liking it (even though the characters’ chemistry felt lacking and the plot moved slooooowly). 🤷🏼‍♀️
