Autumn On My Mind by Gracie Ruth Mitchell (Book 2)
MY REVIEW:
Lily’s Content Guide
💋 Romance level: Kisses Only
🗣️ Language: 2 uses of h*ll
⚠️ Content Warning: narcissistic parent
📚 Genre: Contemporary Romance
🎀 Lily’s verdict: 🤍 It was good
I have some mixed feelings about this one! There were definitely aspects I enjoyed, especially the cozy small town setting and all the fall vibes🍂🤎
For some reason though, I struggled to fully connect with the story for most of the book. I kept feeling like I was missing a little piece of the story, and it wasn’t until toward the very end that everything finally started clicking for me.
I also had a harder time connecting with the FMC and since the story is told entirely from her POV, I think that played a big part in why I didn’t become quite as invested as I wanted to.
That being said, I did enjoy the story more as it went on, and I thought the ending brought everything together really well! I also loved the cozy fall atmosphere, small town setting, and second chance romance🍂
While this particular story didn’t completely click for me personally, I can definitely see it being a great fit for readers who love cozy fall romances, mutual pining, second chances, and forced proximity🤎
I’m excited to continue through the series and see what the next story has in store🥰

BLURB: What happens when two exes find out their parents are dating?
When Reese and Dominic secretly dated and then broke up years ago, they knew they’d have to see each other again. They were from the same small town of Autumn Ridge, Vermont. Their families still lived there. It was inevitable.
What Reese didn’t expect was to see Dominic across the table from her, being introduced as the son of her mother’s latest boyfriend.
Dom and Reese can be exes. They can be neighbors. They could even maybe someday be friends. What they cannot be is siblings.
But Reese’s mother has her eyes on the prize, and she’s not walking away without a ring on her finger. So even though part of Reese’s heart still hurts from the past they share, she and Dominic agree to team up and separate their parents.
Spying? A necessity. Sneaking around? Obviously. And sabotage? Well…never say never.
But the further apart they attempt to push their parents, the closer Reese and Dom get—until the lines between past and present begin to blur, and they find themselves with the stickiest conundrum of all: owning the truth of what really happened between them…and deciding if their love deserves a second chance.
