Recipe for Messy Strawberry Shortcake:
One runaway bride, Daisy
One brokenhearted bloke, Blake
Two bitter exes, Sarah & Henry
One Birch Tree Farm
One busy Strawberry season
A dash of loving relatives, Willow, Dylan, and Uncle Adam
One cute dog, Maple
Mix in the bride and the bloke into the farm. Add a dash of loving relatives, and a dash of Maple kisses. Mix well. Turn up the heat with feelings. Stir the meddling exes into the pot. Let simmer for one strawberry season.
Makes 4 servings of a delectable disaster.
Picnics and Promises at Strawberry Farms is a continuation of Love and Lattes at Pumpkin Hollow, telling the story of Willow’s cousin Daisy, & Dylan’s friend, Blake. Daisy shows up to Birch Tree Farm in a weddings dress after fleeing her own wedding. Broken-hearted Blake is there nursing his wounds from a bad breakup with Sarah. When their exes show up, they manufacture a fake relationship during a busy strawberry season at the farm.
Victoria Walters does it again with this tale of forced proximity, fake dating, and a country escape. Picnics and Promises at Strawberry Fields is cozy and lighthearted, a perfect story to wind down with. I loved that it revisited Birchwood Farms, where we fell in love with Willow, Dylan, and Maple. Victoria Walters is my go-to for a comforting, feel-good read.
