All Maggie Hyde wants is to graduate from the School of Agriculture at Alder University and settle into her legacy by taking over Hyde Hill Farm, the apple orchard that’s been in her family for four generations. Well, okay, it’s not all she wants. Finding someone who loves her small hometown of East Sparrow, Georgia, is high on her list of priorities, too. Who wouldn’t want to fall in love and settle down?

Olivia Cypress, that’s who. A free-spirited traveler at heart, Olivia is enjoying life way too much to limit her options, especially by settling down in nowheresville East Sparrow. But when Olivia walks into Maggie’s horticulture class, she’s charmed by Maggie’s gorgeous smile. It’s fine, though. They can’t seem to agree on anything, especially farming.

Maggie is sure Olivia will leave, just like her mother did. Olivia is sure Maggie doesn’t need a 30-year life plan. Opposites don’t really attract, right?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful story
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2023

    This is the first book I've read by this author and although it skews young adult i enjoyed it. The cast of characters were fun and quirky in many parts and i always enjoy that in a book. Although all the main characters seem to be pretty set about their paths in life Maggie is doggedly determined about hers (although she still came across as struggling with it to me) while her friend group is more go with the flow. Maggie doesn't understand this and i think she thinks it's wreck less and she feels like she is going to be abandoned by people she loves again just like her mother abandoned her.

    Enter Olivia, a girl so very unlike her in many ways and she pulls on Maggie like a magnet that Maggie can't release herself from. Olivia is clumsy, forgetful with many other quirks but she is also strong and very confident most of the time which unnerves Maggie. They are cute together.

    The way the author conveyed Maggie's inner thoughts and the effect Olivia was having on her - the imagery used to describe how Olivia made her feel - was just fantastic and probably the thing i enjoyed most about the book. I don't often find this level of descriptiveness in many contemporary romance books and it's my jam, bravo!

    I enjoyed it. I liked Olivia and Maggie, as well as the secondary characters. It was a good growing up book and finding what you really want. The ending was okay, but felt rushed. Overall, a good book though.

    This is the 3rd book in The Alder Series and Ana Hartnett Reichardt is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I wasn't sure I would relate to this series since it is geared toward the young adult audience and it's been a long time since I was considered a young adult. Ha ha. I found that I not only love all 3 books in this series, but I also thoroughly enjoy Ana's storytelling and loveable characters . This book does not disappoint. You will love Maggie and Olivia as they navigate their junior year in college, falling in love, and all of the challenges of being complete opposites! I can't wait for the 4th book in this series coming in December 2023!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good book
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023
    Good book. I liked the relationship between Maggie and Olivia, but I didn't like all the political rants in this book could have done with out it in my opinion. As for the romance between the main characters it was cute and sweet. You could tell that this was more on the young adult side, because the characters are in college or going to college, and trying to figure out what they want to do in life when they graduate. Even though this is more about Maggie trying to figure out whether or not she wants to run the family farming business or travel the world first. I would definitely recommend this to the young adult crowd, and I look forward to what's next from this author.

    Chasing Cypress is the third book in the Alder series by Ana Harnett Reichardt. Her books are an instant win for me because she rights with so much passion and has characters that make you want to protect them at all costs.

    Chasing Cypress was no different. Set in Junior year, our main character is Maggie, who is in her third year of taking Agricultural classes at Alder University so she can take over her family's Apple Tree farm. She wants to branch out more this year and find love in her junior year. Then she meets Olivia Cypress, a girl who literally walks into her class late, and is everything Maggie isn't. Clumsy, losses her keys lots, flighty and vegan. The two may be different, but they connect right away and the chase is on.

    Maggie is very insecure about people leaving her. It's the constant theme throughout the book, and she doesn't have much trust in Olivia when it comes to her not showing up to things. I'm glad that this book is about learning lessons and understanding it's okay to want your own things, that isn't always what you think it will be when you grow up a certain way.

    I loved how this book incorporated characters from books one and two, and how everyone is so supportive and loving. I also loved Wyatt. He's an awesome dad with his two gay children. He is so proud. And Uncle Ward of course.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2023
    I missed the first two books in Ana Hartnett Reichardt's The Alder Series, but had no trouble reading Chasing Cypress as a standalone. I found Reichardt's writing to be most compelling, the characters are genuine and real, and the whole book is beautifully executed.

    I'll definitely be going back to look for the first two books in this series, and I'm anxiously awaiting anything new from Ana Hartnett Reichardt. Lovely!

    4.0 out of 5 stars LGBTQIAP+ Life in a Small Town
    Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023
    This is the first book that I've read by Ana Harnett Reichardt. The book is set at Alder University about 45 minutes from the East Sparrow, Georgia, family farm of Maggie Hyde. She is getting her agricultural/horticultural education at the university in order to prepare herself to take over the family farm. She's also interested in making a connection with someone while she has time left at school before she settles down into her role.

    Olivia Cypress is auditing Maggie’s horticulture class when they are fully introduced. Olivia is a bohemian personality who routinely forgets her keys, is time flexible, and loves to travel. Once Olivia and Maggie meet they can't seem to agree that the sky is blue amongst many other vital things.

    The book comprised a lot of discussion about conventional farming versus organic farming, LGBTQIAP+ life in small towns, open relationships (Maggie's friends), and what young adults want out of life. Overall, I found it eye opening to consider other options and the characters seemed relatable. 3.5 stars
