The Inn at Tansy Falls by Cate Woods

London accountant Nell Swift has recently lost her best friend to cancer. Megan asks Nell to visit Tansy Falls, Vermont, where she spent summers growing up, and follow a two-week itinerary taking Nell to all of Megan’s favorite places and people. Nell, who works from home and never really got over a bad breakup, dislikes adventure and meeting new people, but agrees to Megan’s last request. Tansy Falls, in late winter mud season, amazes Nell, despite some weather-related mishaps, and she finds the people of Tansy Falls mostly quite friendly. Nell learns more about Megan, and despite missing her dog Moomin, wishes she could start over in Vermont. Reading this heartwarming contemporary novel is like drinking hot cocoa–very comforting. Readalikes include The Tourist Attraction by Sarah Morgenthaler, Book Lovers by Emily Henry, and books by Abbi Waxman.
