This is an abridged review. You can find more on the blog.

Pumpkinheads follows two soon-to-be college students enjoying their last Halloween at the pumpkin patch festival that they've worked together for some time. As the two get nostalgic about the end of their traditions, Deja hatches a plan to get Josiah to talk to the girl he's been crushing on for several seasons.

Pumpkinheads doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a great, easy read for people looking for a casual story with fun characters. If you're looking to get into the Halloween/autumn spirit, I'd add this to your list this season. (Then I'd follow it up with some apple cider and Over the Garden Wall—again.) Pumpkinheads is the perfect light read to kick off the season, full of heart and humor. You won't be disappointed.
