I was surprised to find this book was a little darker than expected with mentions of fairies dying of disbelief. However this book did bring me back to my childhood and I loved the illustrations.

This book brought me back to my childhood and I loved it. This was a really sweet tale with beautiful imagery. It was easy to picture Pixie Hollow as it's described. Highly recommend 🦋❄️

The Christmas Tree Farm

DID NOT FINISH: 65%

Way too many smutty scenes for my liking. Multiple chapters were taken up with one sex scene. The writing was quite cringe and reminded me of Hallmark movies
