  1. What was your overall opinion of the book?
    It’s a very easy read, nicely paced with enough intrigue to keep you interested. I finished it in one sitting!

  2. What was your favourite moment/scene in the book?
    I always always love a town meeting, and Logan’s distinct disdain for them makes them even funnier.

  3. Which character did you like best/most identify with?
    I most identified with Hazel (chronic bookworm) but I am also totally in love with Harry Styles the alpaca…

  4. Did any themes or messages in the book change your perspective on anything?
    Like my favourite quote, I need to be better at living my life. But I also love my life as it is so tough choices 😂

  5. How did the author’s writing style impact your reading experience?
    I did find the language in this one quite basic which made it a kind of elementary read, but I love her world building and the way she sets up characters for future novels!

  6. Was this book relatable to you in any way?
    Only in that it is too my dream to leave my big girl job and move to a small town and run a coffee shop…

  7. What is the one thing about this book you will remember, even a year from now?
    Again, I refer to the town hall meeting!

  8. How likely would you be to recommend the book to someone else? (use a sliding scale of 1-5 if easier)
