Very very cute. Very loveable characters. Love the farm setting and getting to spend more time in the small town.

Maayyyyybe ill revisit in the future. I do not care for most of the characters and I specifically cannot stand elspeth.

Ooooh this is the stuff really good romance novels are made of IMO. whole, real, complex characters finding love. 

I feel cursed by this series. I'll finish it UNFORTUNATELY. And you may be thinking why...why would you finish this. Cause I'm in a million book clubs and I get FOMO. But am I happy about it...no. this book was 99.9% dialogue .1% exposition and I pray to whichever the God of common sense is that Becky's editors do a switcheroo for the next one.

Let me at emily Henry I wanna give her a little kiss. I loved this one so much (almost as much as beach read.) The characters are so cutie patootie. The premise is so wacky. I hate the US right now but at least I get to live in the same timeline as Emily Henry. 

I think this suffers from the sort of Julie & Julia thing where you're like, I love reading about Julia Child but I don't much care about this other woman. I wanted so many more coherent flashbacks than this had. Also I felt like all the other characters treated Jayne like a sort of annoying baby adult which I found annoying for so much of the book. You're telling me if you had the luxury of a trust fund you wouldn't just love to work as a dog walker and florist? I dunno they felt kind of judgey. Just OK honestly.

I love kevin Wilson's little freak brain and I'll just read anything he writes, little to no questions asked. I love the mix of absurd and heartfelt that center in his writing. I think the titular story was my favorite. Every year I was in college my dreams took place in warehouses and the year after I graduated and was settled in a long term relationship and had a job locked down my dreams stopped being in warehouses. Anyway tunneling to the center of the earth felt like that time in life. The foreword talks a little about that weird untethered time in life when you're legally an adult but barely know how to be a person and I think a lot of the stories hold those feelings.

Oh I just never would have picked this up of my own accord but it was a book club pick so I read it for that and what a treat for me. Beautiful writing. Really puts you in the story with mood and setting in a way that feels like the words are swirling around you and carrying you along. Lovely comments on finding common ground, gaining empathy, and addressing parts of yourself perhaps hidden by other distractions.

Couldn't get into it. Felt like a story about cheating but also...boring.

Just OK to me. I thought some of the character inner thoughts were a little clunky but Vera is such a silly, meddling character she makes it a little more fun. I wanna eat all the food in this for sure.
