A review by rosiereviewsreads
The Black Umbrella by JoAnna Illingworth

adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

I was really hesitant to see the only reviews being five stars (I know right now we got early access). And I thought to myself “surely it can’t be THAT good” but oh my god it was wonderful. 

I was instantly attached to the characters and JoAnna had ME questioning who to choose. 

The writing was easy, and didn’t my my brain work hard, my favorite kinda of books. She put us right there in that castle. JoAnna made us feel like we were Brolly, and it was truly wonderful. 

This book made me laugh, cry, yell, and tugged at my heart in a way that a book hasn’t done to me recently. 

The beautiful quotes mixed in with the old timely language, and the new age language as a response back was done in such a perfect way. 

I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy of this book so I can annotate it the way it deserves. 

If you’re looking for a cute, easy, romantic read this is it. This is the book I would recommend!
