Simple and sweet read

This was a very cutesy book. I’m pretty sure someone reviewed that there was too much sex. That just isn’t even a thing haha. It’s barely slightly mentioned. But I didn’t love the narrator. It was like having my grandmother read romance to me. Cute read if you want to think about nothing and dream about fall 🍁🍁🍂

feel good romance

absolutely a great read. with romance, drama, mystery, and comedy it definitely ticks all the boxes.

What a great fall romance story.

Nothing it was a great book from start to finish. Can’t wait to read other books by the same author

Small town love story

This fun and entertaining story is the perfect fall read. Jeanie is gifted a coffee shop in a small town by her aunt. But, there was strange things happening around the cafe. Logan is the handsome bespectacled farmer who helps Jeanie become accepted by the town’s people and resolve the mystery surrounding the cafe. Instant attraction between the two is undeniable. I give this book a rating of 4.5 ⭐️ and a spicy 🌶️ rating of 3. The narrator was excellent and I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. I strongly recommend this book to all who enjoy a seasonal reads.

Cute - Read vs. Listen

The story itself was cute. The town had a Gilmore girls/ Stars Hollow feel. Cute and fun with dabbles of fall feels through. Not really the warm and cozy vibes I was hoping for like the cover portrays. This may have been better to enjoy not as an audiobook. The performer/ reader made it difficult to get into the characters. The voice was to mature for the age of the characters. Still a cute but would suggest sampling the audiobook before making the decision to read or listen.

Terrible narrator choice

I was so excited to listen to this book. The story is cute and relaxed, a very easy read that’s super digestible. However the narrator was the wrong choice. Has a great voice, but in a book that is about younger adults finding love I think the narrators voice sounding like an older woman really threw things off for me.

It was light, happy and comfy to listen to

I enjoyed this book and the stories of the characters. I enjoyed how the theme was based around the fall season

I liked it!

I really loved the small town vibes and how rveryoen knows everything but i had to skip the smut scenes because i could not bring myself to listen to them but other then that i liked it. Ps i also like how the name is gilmore

Cozy read!

I loved the love story back and forth, cozy fall read! First chapter is slow then it picks up.

Hallmark-esque

Cute fall vibes, but the plot didn’t feel super special and the spice didn’t happen at all until the very end and then it was just all spice lol.
