An enjoyable story about a quaint New England town and starting a new life. I wish things ended a little differently but I do see potential for a continued series.

A great cozy book that will have you wanting to light a candle, grab a warm beverage and snuggle up to read. A young woman with a complicated past moves to a small town in the fall to open up a pet store/bakery. I was hooked as she meets new people, and you slowly learn about her past and why she came to this little town. I hope this is the start of a book series because I would love to know what happens next for Laurie and the rest of the people in the town.

The cover immediately caught my eye. This was a classic feel-good novel. "Grumpy sunshine" trope. I'm a sucker for small town romance and with the added Fall vibes? Sold. This will be great for readers in the upcoming months!

I really appreciated this warm cozy autumn story. The main character was strong and yet so unbelievably kind and warmhearted. It was beautifully written and I was swept away right at the beginning, the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was that the ending felt a little bit rushed. I do hope though that this is a series as I fell in love not only with Laurie but all the other characters from Star's Fall. I would have loved to know what happened to the young mother whom just moved in.
