I found this book in a little free library. I read it in a couple of days. I was expecting a fluffy romance, really wasn’t expecting much, just a light romance or something.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this book resonated so deeply with me. While there were aspects of a romance in there, the deeper things for me were watching a woman find herself, connecting deeply with her creativity, authenticity and also with nature. I really liked it. I’m going to read anything else this author wrote because I feel like she speaks like a real person, she thinks about things in layered ways, and I’m excited by the way her creativity takes her.
