Pumpkin Spice by Tagan Shepard
2.75
lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: No

I was given an advanced copy of this book  by netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 

Pumpkin spice is a small town romance book centred around Nicki, an awkward introvert who meets Carter at a pumpkin farm. While I enjoyed the premise for a holiday romance and do typically enjoy the hallmark movie style romance books, I struggled to get past how stereotypically millennial it was in every sense. This made many moments which were written to be sweet or relatable as slightly cringey. 
While not a primary character, my favourite part of the book was lily, the protagonists niece who was so perfectly written as a headstrong 9 year old.

Overall pumpkin spice was a quick, easy, and enjoyable read but was not a standout in the genre.
