I'm starting to think that Laurie Gilmore is the queen of miscommunication plots. I did not enjoy this much pining without communication about it. I preferred this to Pumpkin Spice Cafe but not by much. A very pent-up bookish girl and a bad-boy type have a fling with grand gestures and a mysterious book annotation plot. I liked it, but I'm not sure I'd read it again. Definitely gave me small-town fall vibes.
