The Town of Perpetual Autumn

By Beatrice Pobre
The Town of Perpetual Autumn by Beatrice Pobre digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The Town of Perpetual Autumn is your new cozy autumn read.

When burnt-out, big-city dentist Sal inherits a cozy woodland estate upon the untimely death of her longtime childhood friend Claire, she catapults herself on a journey to the small town of St. Stephenshire to find out why.

In the new and unsettling pace, she finds comfort in a motley mix of newfound family, a mysteriously dashing town benefactor, and her cats. Together, they uncover the mystery behind Claire's untimely demise. 

Can Sal find the answers she is searching for, or will she discover something about herself that she's buried too long?

The Town of Perpetual Autumn explores what it means to live a purposeful life through the eyes of Sal, the typical fast-paced Millennial always looking for the next big thing to achieve.

The Town of Perpetual Autumn Reviews

3.5
“Between the clunky writing and misused words (as early as the prologue), the too convenient sequence of events, and the poor attempt at diversity, I couldn't push past 34%. I see the potential. Sal was supposed to be very relatable as a burnt-out overachiever (that's me) but she came off as unlikable (probably also me jkjk). It's not so much her traits that made her so. It was how it was presented. The rest of the world seemed like the problem - Sal's former professional circle (who were portrayed as petty and shallow), her family, her job. A lot of Sal's day would be overwritten, with so many details, but when it came to the things that mattered more, suddenly there was a scarcity of words. The lore of the town didn't make sense. What do you mean they modified the place's weather to conceal their tools? Wouldn't it be easier to disguise their tools? Cute, I suppose, but I wish it balanced "cozy" and "coherent". And the "diverse" cast? Some remarks about characters were racist at worst and leaning on stereotypes (which is still kinda racist, I guess?) at best. Also, take a shot every time a new character is introduced as tall. Idk, at least 4? Overall, I think it's a workable concept and character/s with a failed execution.”
“Was very frustrated by the unanswered questions. It felt very unrealistic too.”
