oh i love this book. and what a beautiful addition to where we were and left book one. i loved that captivating village feel and comfort from book one and this one made me smile straight away as we got right back into that feeling once again. the scenes completely come to life in this book. you can feel it, see it in your minds eye, imagine as if your there looking around.you can find that charm and sparkle that this location would have, like many of our little villages of that kind have themselves. they just make you feel better.
things are not cliche or twee though. its real life happening around our characters once again. but there is ood people with real love and care there. ones you are rooting for once again. it feels true, earned, authentic.
some of those characters who truly sparkled are back. oh Brianne is here again and she does make me smile and feel just like she did it book one. and then there was Thomas in her life. so when other people came in their lives because they had "done life" which meant in different directions i was finding myself saying no no these two are it. these two please. haha far too invested.nah. just in love with a good book once again and there is no better feeling.
you want to push perfect fits together in this. you want to keep others together too. friends, lover and all that gorgeousness comes into play as we watch our favourite people live life in their every day.it feels lucky we get to be part of it. you want to be a villager yourself. i love how things have changed. things do look different even regarding the season. its like we really are here for them all and watching life play out. i love books like that. that span time with people and truly get to know and watch them grow and be as a community. you feel more and care more then about whats going on,
it was nice to also check in with Luke and Jade. they deserve so much and i was getting all protective of Jade almost at once, lol.
it felt like a privilege to be back. another beautiful read,
