There are a lot of storylines to keep up with but I really enjoyed how it all came together. A very peaceful read, all things considered. Made me want to open a bookshop in the English countryside for sure. (Alas, I am far too city-person for that.)

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.

This is what Love Actually would have been if it had actually good storylines and people were nice to each other.

There were so many character stories that I feel like each only skimmed the surface. More “Valentines Day” style ensemble cast that took me a while to feel invested in each couple’s outcome. Cozy and comforting read.

Men swoop in to save some sweet but innocent women. It’s an overdone, simplistic plot. But overall it’s fluffy if that’s what you’re looking for! I enjoyed some of the plot lines and wasn’t bored! 

There is some pregnancy trauma and there’s parental death if those topics are triggering for you.
