I this was a very sweet and cozy story. It had a beautiful concept of a city girl and getting recalibrated not by choice to country life ;) and learning it’s not so bad after all and maybe you could not only find yourself but love along the way ;) Penny and Ethan were adorable.

After a couple of disappointing ARCs, I was going to swear off NetGalley for a while but then I saw the front cover for Cozy Girl Fall and it was so gorgeous I just had to request it. I'm so glad I did because it was a Five Star Read.

I love small town romances and I can totally understand why after leaving for San Francisco to become a professional chef, Penny would return to her hometown of Magnolia Springs. It sounds so idyllic with its apple orchards, yummy bakeries and town festivals. It's funny how gossip quickly spreads whenever Penny and Ethan are seen together. Penny's parents are great characters. I like how her Mom is so competitive with her baking and tries to intimidate voters in the pie competition. Penny has such an amazing relationship with her Dad and he gives great advice.

I fell in love with Ethan from the moment he and Penny met again for the first time at her parents' orchard when she was hiding / pretending to look for her car keys. I really appreciated how he didn't hold a grudge against Penny for leaving to pursue her dreams even though it broke both their hearts. He is and always has been her Number 1 Supporter, which makes him even more attractive.

Cozy Girl Fall just put the biggest smile on my face and as soon as I'd finished reading, I immediately looked to see if the author had written anything else and added Clean Girl Spring to my Wish List.
