T'was a recipe just for me

It was never uncertain that I'd enjoy this book but I am so glad I went with the audio format because the goodness of that dual POV and dual (spot-on) accents were a dream. Another bonus was the autumnal time of year.

These characters just became like friends. Harper was a previous high-flying marketer looking for a quiet few months to try writing a book after her job went south. Fraser was the local carpenter that found himself in a bit of a rescue situation. There was a reluctance to both their investment in their friendship and connection, but it really was written so beautifully. Harper was a strong, bisexual woman and Fraser was a feminist. I was giving them laser eyes to induce their connection.

The town was full of colourful characters that notched up the endearment. But all good things come to an end, right? The third act break up was well written and I enjoyed the journey to the end.

This book gave me all the feels for autumn and then winter, friendships, love is love and putting your heart out there. Highly rec.
