The will they/won’t they back and forth was barely there so if you’re looking for a sweet, easy to read romance, this one might work for you. It’s mostly a closed door romance and there’s barely any tension. The romance in this book isn’t necessarily steamy. I thought it was very interesting and while it’s not exactly my cup of tea, I personally didn’t mind it. There’s a lot of discussion on art history, specifically the history of art centered around nature. When Nory leaves Town for her hometown where this Castle is, she bumps into an old acquaintance who’s a gardener. This book also has a lot to do with gardening and plants. I thought it was funny and cute and I’m sure is somewhat relatable to some people. I liked the idea of a bookseller who gets too attached to their books to actually sell them. Nory runs a second hand bookshop with a friend that’s hidden in a shopping center or corner of Town where all the shop owners know and care for each other. It had that signature British feel and dry humor. This was my first British rom-com and as I was reading the story and getting into Nory’s world, it truly did feel like cozy and funny.
The cover is absolutely gorgeous and I honestly have to look up the artist and see if she sells any prints in a shop or something. What I did like about this book is first of all the cover.
This book follows Nory, short for Elinor Noel, as she reunites with her school friends in a castle to pre-game her friends’ wedding with a week of reminiscing and letting loose. My first book of the year is almost always a 5 star read and sadly, this year, I broke that streak hard lol. Trigger Warnings: sexual assault/harassment, cheating
