This was such a delight to read. I was genuinely looking forward to picking this book back up every time I put it down. It was just so wholesome and bucolic, and full of love - romantic, platonic and familial. Ben and Phillip were simply perfect for each other and it was a joy to watch them fall in love. The resolution to their story felt so fitting.

There were a couple of reasons I didn't rate this book more highly. I felt that it needed a touch more plot and more of the family element - with those two things, I think it would have truly blown me away. Regardless, I really enjoyed this read and cannot wait to pick up the second instalment in the series.
