I have never wanted to go or been part of a Renaissance Faire but now I want to go and find one, what a charming book. Although I wish Emily and Simon didn’t have so many miscommunication issues.

Ugh... I wish I had DNFed this, unfortunately. I love the Renaissance fair I've been to so I thought it would be a cute setting for a romance novel. Sadly the story and characters just lacked depth. Sometimes that can make for a fun, light read, but I struggled to suspend disbelief enough to enjoy. And then the icing on the cake (derogatory) was when Emily, a gal Simon had known for what, 6 weeks? Told him

he basically needed to get over his dead brother and put her first.

Grief is complex and this book didn't have the depth to handle that topic.

Edit: if I find out the lasagna + milk for dinner mentioned at the end is a Twilight reference, I'm adding half a star to my rating for that Easter egg 🤣

This was a really fun, lightrom com with heart. I thoroughly enjoyed, and really wish there was word for "men" that rhymed with "wench" because "Wenches before--something that refers to men and rhymes with wenches" is a thing now.
