Charming

What a cozy novella with all the delightful charm you’d hope for in a small-town love story.

Lovely story but needs more

I feel like it was a very rushed love story. Going from beginning of story to two strangers fully in love in 1 hour. It was lacking character development and the relationship felt very predictable. I kept waiting for them to get to know one another so we could, but I don’t feel like we got to know them well at all. There aren’t many side characters to add to the beauty of the small town.
Then, I am still unsure why they fell apart? The library closes and his art exhibit fails and then they aren’t talking? I don’t understand how they got there and it just left so many questions.
As for the audio, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the voices the reader does, especially when Ethan is flirting with her. It was odd. Also, several moments the phrases repeated a couple times. Not sure what happened there, but it wasn’t my connection as I downloaded the book.
I wish the author would go back and develop the story more. This was a skeleton story and would be a great starting point, but needs more development to create a full story.

Clean romance

Simple clean romance for an evening listen, I like that they worked to support each other.
