This book was so so so so beautiful. I’ve always felt that small town romances can go one of two ways for me (either I aggressively love them or I aggressively hate them) but the little town of Spunes is one that I wish I could hide away in forever.

Sage is a teacher who’s dealing with the town’s pity after being dumped by her boyfriend, who’s the town’s golden boy. Fisher is a former Michelin-starred chef who lost is job is spending the summer in Spunes with his teenage niece to prepare his former boss’ new restaurant and hopefully earn his position back.

A meet-cute involving a rogue vacuum cleaner leads to a hilarious and cute neighbors-to-lovers scenario that made me giggle, kick my feet, and—surprise, surprise—cry like a baby.

Also there is a goose in this book called Gary, and he is the love of my life. I feel this is not a surprising tidbit for anyone who knows about me and my geese obsession, but I just wanted it to be known.

This was a heartwarming story about a grumpy chef who has become a single parent and this quirky next store neighbour who has many amazing animals. I really did enjoy the journey both these characters went on and how they accepted the emotional damage that both of them had been on and never held it against them!

I loved this small town romance! Tarah truly made the small town feel perfect.

This was my first Tarah DeWitt book, and I am starting Funny Feelings soon too!

Fisher was just everything. I loved the way he had to learn to navigate his relationship with his teenage niece, which is never easy. All the activities that Fisher and Sage did were so fun to read about.

AHHH I read this from front to back too fast! I wish I could read it again for the first time 🥰

I absolutely love Sage! She is strong, passionate, & unapologetically herself 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 she takes care of her own, & finds the good in everything 💕 and Fisher found everything he didn’t know he was looking for. He is turning his life around, & I loved everything about this interaction he has with Sage!

Right from the beginning, I laughed, smiled, & cried alongside all the characters. The town was everything I hoped it would be, & the secondary characters were just as great 💕

This was the first book by this author for me, but I guarantee it is not the last ❤️

What to expect:
✨small town
✨dual POV
✨forced proximity
✨fake dating
✨grumpy/sunshine
✨”only for the summer”
✨fun animal friends
✨all the feels!

I definitely recommend this one! And can’t wait to read more by Tarah 💕📚

Thank you @stmartinspress @netgalley for the early copy!

such a heart warming story 😭 auto-buy author for sure. i loved the small town setting, the animals, the descriptions of food !!! so immersive. read it in one sitting

Savor it is a romance of two opposites finding each other Food brings everyone together. These characters love food as much as life

what an incredible rollercoaster of emotions ! i can’t wait to keep diving into tarah dewitt’s back log !

I loved the characters and setting in this book, but the story fell a bit flat for me. I can see how it's loved by many though.

This was one of my most anticipated reads and it definitely did not disappoint! Tarah DeWitt's writing is real and relatable and you just can't help but smile while reading. I had to get myself a physical copy for my shelf as well because this cover is stunning. An amazing rom-com from Tarah.

I’ve absolutely loved Tarah’s other books, but this one was just off for me the entire time. I was excited for the dual POV, the grump/sunshine trope, and the small town vibes, but the pacing was off and I found myself not wanting to pick it back up. I do want to give this another try when I’m in a romance book mood again, but I eventually had to start something new.

This book was so good! I Love Tarah DeWitt and was so excited to get to read this as an ARC. I really resonated with Sara and Fisher as they were both in a stage of life where they felt stuck, or really just needing to find themselves and their path forward in life. They come together at such a perfect time and deal with things they both have been struggling with, Like grief and how each person is affected differently by it. I loved the setting of this book. Oregon is one of my favorite states and they made the city have the perfect cozy vibes.
I will be recommending this book to everyone!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I was entirely so excited to get approved for this read and I devoured it. Fisher is such a solid book boy friend and I loved the character deployment from this book. Such a good read!

Is it cliche to say chef's kiss?
Savor It was so good. So sweet. It felt like coming home.

It was impossible not to fall in love with Sage and Fisher.. these two complimented each other so well, and I loved what they taught each other along the way.

It was so refreshing to read a book that emphasizes savoring the moments while you're in them, and that sometimes life gives you exactly what you need when you're least expecting it.

The audiobook was so well done, the narrators were perfect!

Hilarious, beautifully quirky, a little spicy but balanced with touching moments. It’s a story of love and loss, burnout, and the journey of self discovery and recovery.

I loved the setting and thought this was a very cute romance. This was my first by this author and it definitely won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Tarah Dewitt is SO good at giving us a romance that will make you both laugh out loud and *swoon*. She’ll make you cry and then put you back together again. This story is really about rediscovering yourself after you’ve been lost. I would read it over and over again.

2.75 ⭐️ Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This book took some time for the plot to pick up and for me to get into. I loved the small town setting of this book. The theme weaved throughout was enjoying what you have while you have it regardless of what’s going on around you.

3.5 stars
This was an enjoyable read! I loved the small town vibes and the setting. At times, it held my attention but other times, I felt like I could put it down.

I really enjoyed this book! The small town love just doesn’t get better! Tarah writes her stories from the heart and this book is another piece of evidence of that. Fisher and Sage are such sweet characters with big feelings. The way the author puts them on page is just utter perfection. It makes you feel like you’re living life right along with them. I do think it was a little too slow at times and the pacing could have used some work. But other than that, it’s another top of the list book for me!
