I love all genres. I spent my 20s thinking I had to read nonfiction as much as possible, and that fiction was a privilege. Now, I read to satisfy every curiosity.

    I have so many mixed emotions and thoughts about this book.

    I loved the first 3rd and the friendship building between the FMC and MMC.

    I loved the two daughters and Rocket the dog.

    But the tropes were troping and they didn’t need to be.

    😘

    This was definitely a cozy read. Every character in the house is loveable. The three girls were delightful. I could totally see this as a television show and happily watch it.

    As someone who loves spice in a book, I’m surprised that I agree with some of the other comments. The story didn’t need it and I think would benefit from being closed door.

    I’m going to read the next in the series, and I’m curious which of the characters from this one we’ll see again or hear mentioned.

    Ok…I’m thinking Primrose and Lillian are the same person. And if that’s true, not cool Lilyrose, not cool.

    I’m convinced at this point that the book would be about 100 pages long if it only included the main plot. Herman, my guy, can we focus please

    Don't skip the Author's Note at the end of the book! It's incredible.

    Shoutout to my fellow childfree women!

    Not for me

    I only rarely dnf a book and I think this is the first time I dnfed a book simply because I was finding myself bored. I would like to explore more tellings of Norse mythology, but I just couldn’t get excited to read this one.
