If you need a warm hug to comfort you about the end of Ted Lasso, this is it. Despite all of the character conflict and an unhinged game to win 10 million dollars, this book will give you the warm fuzzies. For romance fans, note that it's closed door - but the romance isn't really the key theme of the story. This is a story about Redford, with enemies reconciling and coming together for the sake of the town. But it's also mixed with a grumpy/sunshine pairing that's just so endearing, you can't help but root for them. I want to go hiking and fly down a hill in a Barbie Jeep, or eat some cupcakes from Evangeline's. Lacie Waldon, you nailed it.
