I really, really liked this book, but I have mixed feelings about the main character Josiah. Basically in this book Josiah and Deja have been working at this pumpkin patch year after year and Josiah has had a MAJOR crush on "the fudge girl" for 4 years. Josiah literally doesn't even know this girls name but he is convinced that they are soul mates, and they are meant to be together! I personally found this sooo creepy, he literally doesn't even know one thing about her personality but yet he has been completely obsessed with her for 4 years! In real life, that's CRAZY, but in this make believe graphic novel it works, it just made me think twice about how creepy this character would be in real life. Anyway that aside I really did love the pumpkin patch setting in this novel. I have been ready for fall and everything about this graphic novel screams fall/ autumn. I think this novel would be perfect to read around September or October to really get you in the fall spirit. There is pretty much a pumpkin or fall yellow leaf on every single page. It was a beautifully aesthetic book to read. This book literally made me want to sit in a pile of leaves and drink a pumpkin spice latte. Basic I know, but I was here for the setting alone! I also really loved the ending. I don't want to give any spoilers away but I really liked that Josiah grew as a person and realized that his obsession with the fudge girl was just NOT FEASIBLE! I really hope that this book gets a spin off. Deja and Josiah joke about getting jobs as "Santa's Elve's" next and I really just want to read an aesthetically pleasing Christmas graphic novel! I am obsessed with all things fall and Christmas, so I just think the world needs a Christmas spin off from Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks.
