***
For the second novel from an author this was pretty good. I like the premise, that life needs to slow down so you can enjoy it (and that's our choice). The characters are fun and fairly believable.
However, this was also a very slow read. It reminded me a bit of Anne of Green Gables with ALL.THE.DETAIL. I felt like he was trying to draw too many parallels between the scenery/surroundings and the story line. While I appreciate an author's attempts to help place us in a setting there is a point where it becomes too wordy.
