I absolutely loved this book! You can really empathize with Emilia’s grief and the feelings of all the characters really. The feelings and issues are very relatable. The small town feel of Peasebrook is also very comforting. I could not get through the second half of the book fast enough, wanting to know what was going to happen in all the characters lives. 

If you're looking for a cozy read where everyone gets a happily ever after, then this is the book for you. The stakes within it are low, and everyone gets what they set out for. I love the idea of a bookstore being the heart and soul of a community. The concept alone gives me the warm fuzzies.

However...

I'm not a fan of the fact that every single main character ends up with another main character; it comes across as forced and unnecessary. I don't like the idea that happy ending = everyone ends up in a hetero marriage. I liked the first 75% of the book a lot more than the last 25%. It's not a bad book; it just has a sloppy, rushed end.
