Fisher and his niece Indy move to a small town in Oregon after escaping drama in New York. Spunes (not to be confused with Forks) is a small town where everyone knows everything about each other. Sage lives near the house that Fisher and Indy are renting for the summer. A high school teacher, Sage grows flowers and tends to a small animal menagerie in the summer. Sage helps Fisher when he can’t track down Indy and an alliance is struck when they realize fake dating could benefit them both. Fisher is only in town until the end of the summer, so can Sage and Fisher make a (fake) relationship work or will they have to be content with savoring their summer? 
 
I absolutely loved Sage and her small menagerie of animals. While Sage has been told that she’s too nice, she resents this because it implies a lack of agency. I loved how Sage had confidence in herself and her choices. Fisher and Sage are the epitome of a grump/sunshine couple, with strong Hallmark themes. Sage and Indy also develop a great relationship; Sage helps give her purpose and grounds her. There’s a strong Gilmore Girls vibe- this is a small town (with town meetings!) where everyone is in each other's business but they always want the best for each other. 

I thought Sage’s internal dialogue was hilarious and it quite literally made me laugh out loud. Sage and Fisher make a lot of excellent jokes about Hallmark movies, despite some strong parallels to their meeting and relationship. I appreciated the mental health rep and portrayal of complicated grief. Readers who enjoy grump/sunshine, fake dating, and small town romances will love this book. Savor It is a cozy, warm romance with an excellent heroine. Looking forward to more stories from Tarah DeWitt!
