This was such a cute read! The magical realism and ease of this story was just what I needed! Sometimes books don’t need to be deep to be impactful. I appreciated the lessons we learn from Elsy’s time in Aloraton. My only struggle mainly surrounded the chemistry between Elsy and Anders. I did not end this book feeling like they were a lifetime happily ever after. However, sometimes the love stories that don’t end in that HEA are what set us on the path towards the real one. So maybe in the non-existent sequel in my mind, they are exactly what the other needs for the time. 

Cute read and would recommend if you need an easy, relaxing story to lose yourself in!
