See, I knew this series would grow on me despite the parts I don't like quite so much.
Ms. Jenkins has a way of creating compelling characters that I wish to check up on and spend time with.
I can see the appeal given this series has so many installments.

While I love these novels, they are a wee-bit heavy on respectability politics, a tad bit strong on xtian themes when I prefer lighter themes, a bit fat phobic, and a bit homophobic, though a gay characters exist.

The charm of this wholesome town is perfect in so many ways. I'd move there and see Ms. Bernadine about helping the town be less of all the above. 🥰
