This book is amazing, as someone who just recently went through burn out, it was such a refreshing read with a romantic twist

Not what I expected, but cute

This wasn't my kind of book. The writing, the slow pace, and so many other things. However, the whole book was like reading the FMC's inner monolog and I've never seen it done so realistically. I gave this book 4 stars because despite it's flaws it really spoke to me and had a truly beautiful message. I could so easily put myself in the FMC's shoes and it was super addictive tbh

this is not the best book i have ever read. i don’t even see myself recommending it to people. but i so badly needed this right now. the way she described being burnt out, like living your life like a robot, and then all the mistakes you make while trying to recover from it - latching onto other people, either idolizing them and wanting to be them, or making it your mission to fix them instead of work on yourself. i also think this book is a great example of how you can write in a modern way without littering your book with pop culture references. she created extensive lore for the town they were in, from life stories about all the citizens and employees to even minute details about the art history. it felt like being dropped into a gilmore girls-esque town and it was cozy and eccentric and completely unrealistic and exactly what i wanted to read right now. so, if i read this even a few months ago, i might’ve hated it. my 5 stars are more for my relationship with the book than the quality of the book itself. hope my word vomit makes sense to the one (1) person who maybe reads all of this.

sigh reading this made me so comfy i might reread it again just for the vibes

I absolutely love this one! A quick read about a fairly serious topic with the perfect amount of humor thrown in. I really enjoyed that this story had so many aspects to it including work, family, vacation, personal relationships, history of a town and even a little mystery thrown in. I truly flew through this one and I feel like it really does have something that would appeal to every reader. Huge thanks to aardvark for choosing this title, I may not have heard of it or picked it up if it weren’t for them!

Funny and silly and sweet. Although I enjoyed it as a nice easy read there were a few plot holes/ plot lines that just fizzled away rather than being concluded.
