A hilarious, unpredictable, and somewhat crazy story about a community keeping a Halloween festival going instead of allowing corporate analysis Henry Vance to dictate it's demise. Fortunately, third generation festive director Delia Brightwell, is determined to convince him otherwise... one chaotic moment at a time.
The characters were incredible, enthusiastic, determined, creative, and one step ahead of anything.
Along the way the two sides joined forces further and shocked Henry's employer!
The plot was perfect and no one could predict the amazing ending! Truly one of the most creative books I've read in years.It deserves more than five stars!

interesting
It’s a fun fall/halloween read. I kept thinking it was over but then there would be more chapters, more chaos… it ended up being a good ending. But lots of repeating towards the end, it could have been shortened. Also, I was confused by characters, not super important characters luckily but either names got changed or they were just random people mentioned but I’m pretty sure names just got changed.

This wasn't your usual "oh my goodness...we have to save the festival" book. It was philosophical in a very entertaining way. I fell in love with Henry and his spreadsheets. Now I must read more by Sadie Bloom. She writes well and movingly.
