I‘ve seen this book everywhere this season so I had to give it a chance. It‘s cute and the 1997 setting is nostalgic for me. The two MCs have some emotional baggage but I did enjoy their friendship and relationship development. I love the idea of running a B&B so that was fun, and the male MC‘s younger daughter being a fan of Stone Cold Steve Austin was hilarious. The negative is that this is way too long. This was my #BookSpin for October

Sweet and pumpkin spicy and set in the 90s, this was a nice, nostalgic, cozy Fall romance, but the slow burn wasn‘t helped by some pacing problems that make this just a so-so for me.

This one tugged at my heart strings 🥹! The setting, the decade, the characters— all amazing.

“This fall, cue up your 90s playlist, break out your Walkman, and curl up with a cozy blanket, your old Beanie Babies, and Julie Olivia‘s Berkley debut for a delicious escape back in time.

A sweet and nostalgic small-town romance filled with plenty of classic tropes.”
