Fall I Want was such a cute, fall-themed romance! Zane and Autumn have such a unique story. I loved how they weren’t immediately ready to become friends or more, but once they allowed those feelings to develop, they truly did. Zane was the peak book-boyfriend who is protective while allowing Autumn to have her voice, and I loved that so much.
Instalove isn’t usually a favorite trope of mine, but it worked in this book! I loved seeing how Zane and Autumn were having identical revelations but simultaneously fighting them. Autumn’s friendships along with Zane’s sister, Harper, really showed the power of finding the right person while not losing those you love already- which I appreciated so much!
This book was so cute! Cozy Creek is the perfect setting for romance, and Fall I Want definitely set us up for more to come there. Not only am I going to read Lyra Parish’s backlog of books, I am going to be SAT for when the next Cozy Creek book comes out!! I am soooo ready for Jules and Nick’s story!
Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read and review this book! I received a free advance copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
