Review:

Firstly thank you to Rachels Random Resources, Aria and Jennifer Page for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So I jumped into this series with Love Letters on Hazel Lane (and then backtracked to The Little Board Game Cafe) so as soon as I saw this I jumped about excitedly and got my butt on the tour for it! I've absolutely loved this series so far and this addition to it is no exception, we have all the characters we encountered in the last two books coming back to give us that feeling of coming back home, you know the comfortable warm feeling you get when you come home after a long break away that's what this setting gives you. And I instantly fell in love with Harry and Taylor as individual characters, They are so well-rounded that I feel like I could walk into my local gaming cafe and bump into them. Once they came together as a couple it just felt perfect they suited each other so well and they were like each other missing puzzle pieces (I know bad dad joke alert) it just felt right from the off and I was completely and utterly rooting for them the whole time.
I have to do a little bit of Max, he is such a sweet little boy and I love and completely understand as a mum Taylor wanting to make sure he's happy above her own happiness and sometimes at the expense of it and that makes her (and him) such realistically written characters for me. The whole community in Hebbleswick just makes me so happy to read about it, I'd love to live in a place like that where neighbours look out for each other and you really feel part of the community instead of being separate from it.
Jennifer Page's writing style is so warm and easy to read that I could happily sit and read her books any day of the week and I really can't wait for the next book in the series, especially as it's a Christmas book!
