Ellis has a lot of expectations for her senior year, but moving from Manhattan to Bramble Falls, Connecticut is not one of them. Yet in the wake of her parents' separation, that's exactly where she and her mother are headed.
Bramble Falls might be charming, but it's also full of distractions. Like local barista Cooper Barnett, Ellis's one-time best friend—and first kiss—who has not only majorly glowed up but wants nothing to do with Ellis.
Then there's the Falling Leaves Festival, a month-long tourist attraction run by Ellis's aunt—celebrating everything autumn. The festival seems nice and all, but Ellis doesn't have time to be roped into her aunt's enthusiastic planning. Dragged to each event, she can't stop bumping into Cooper, the one person she's hoping to avoid.
But the longer she stays in Bramble Falls, the harder it is to pretend she's not falling for this town and the people in it. As her return to Manhattan gets pushed further and further out, Ellis is forced to confront exactly what she wants for her future—and what that means for her present. - Summary from the publisher

My Thoughts: I adored this book. So many things to love:
Small town Charm
Second Chance Romance
Work/Life Balance
Great BFF (loved the dead body comments)
The cookies - it really made me want to bake
All the Fall Festival Activities
I didn't want this book to end; it's just magical.
Goodreads says it's the first in a series and I REALLY want that to be true.
Cover Thoughts: Charming
Why I Read This: First the cover and 2nd- Jessica Burkhart recommended it.
Source: My Library (but I did get an ARC for review the same week)
Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for your teen romance collection - especially since there aren't that many fall romance books.
Hand This To: Fans of PSL and Gilmore Girls
I went to a Taylor Swift party at the local bookstore and bedazzled the leaves in the trees:
Cute right?
