This is a very cute and cozy read with all the autumn vibes! The banter between the main characters was spot on! I will be re-reading this come fall.

Black cat/golden retriever. Small town in autumn vibes. Sweet (and steamy!) romance.

Both Sadie and Josh have past issues pop up that they need to work through, but I liked the competitive nature of their friendship. Also liked the dynamic with Grace, PJ, and other side characters. Could see this spinning into a series of at least one more book.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Watch for Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About to come out August 26, 2025.

This was such a fun read that I can't wait to go back into when fall comes around!
I absolutely love Sadie's personality and the banter between MC's. You don't see many books lately with a plus size FMC and I love when I find ones that are close to my own size to help relate to the characters even more. I've never read anything that has a pumpkin patch scenario and honestly we need more because it was such a breath of fresh air.

It’s a bit early for fall but this is definitely something to remember when the leaves start to change colors 🍁

I had a super fun time reading this one. The characters were so likable and I love when the MMC is a complete ray of sunshine. The tension between Sadie and Josh was written so well I almost wish it had gone on longer, but after they got back together it was the sweetest thing.

I love how they both supported each other through and how the author created side characters that were well rounded and didn’t feel just tacked on. Plus, who doesn’t love pumpkins, plus size rep, and a good state fair debacle? 🎃

Thanks so much for @netgalley andgalley and @harlequinbooks for a copy 🥰

This is going to be a hit in the fall. I had fun reading it this winter. The characters were interesting and I liked how Popp wrote their story. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

It's a bit early for fall reads, but keep this one on your radar. Let's Give 'Em Pumpkin to Talk About is perfect for the upcoming fall.

This is an ARC review. All opinions are my own. Review may contain spoilers.

I don’t usually see plus size/full figure FMCs in books, and I felt so seen and represented reading about Sadie! She has sass, and is unapologetically herself in every situation. Josh is a huge ray of sunshine and so sweet.

Sadie and Josh have lots of deeper conversations, which I really enjoyed. It gave me insights into their wants, hopes, fears, and dreams, which really rounded out their characters and served as a great foundation for their relationship.

Besides the relationship between the main characters, I also really enjoyed seeing them interact with other people (friends, family, community members) as it made them feel like real people, not just romance characters.

The banter and tension between Sadie and Josh is done so well. And the spicy scenes even more so. In my opinion, I would give it a level 2.5-3 for spice.

Overall, I believe it’s a great feel good read with an ending everyone is sure to enjoy! My official rating is a 4 star! A big thank you to Afterglow Harlequin Romance and NetGalley for the ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley, Isabelle Popp, and Harlequin -Romance for allowing me access to the e-arc.

This was such a fun and enjoyable read. I just adore Sadie she is just so unapologetically her. She protects her peace at all costs. There are more emotional conversations about toxic parents and failed relationships. I wanted to see more of the character's life and the small town. Overall, this is a great fall read without having too many fall vibes.

I would recommend it!

This was a cute small-town romance that left me feeling gooey. The setting (a Midwest pumpkin-growing haven) was a fun choice and I loved how supportive and communicative the FMC and MMC were as they grew their relationship. It’s refreshing to see characters really consider what the other needs and support them in that. The spice was great fun, and I appreciated the strong focus on character development (and lack of a true third-act breakup).

3.5 stars
