This was definitely a fun and quirky story. The characters were a hoot and a half and there were a few surprises along the way. Enjoyed.

I got teary eyed. It was so good, I felt all the late summer vibes at the ocean. Its a slow start but you keep reading for the magic, the love, and cute small coastal town.
“But Magpie, I want to. I didn’t offer it straight off the bat, because I was waiting for you to see what everyone else has known for a long time now. The coffee shop isn’t the heart of this town. You are.”

I just finished "At The Coffee Shop of Curiosities," and it was such a charming read! This book takes you to a small, magical town filled with quirky characters and delightful moments that make you wish you could visit and never leave.
One of the highlights for me was the cozy atmosphere permeating the story. Everything felt warm and inviting, from the descriptions of the town to the interactions between the characters.
While the reveal about Ava was a bit predictable, the connection between Ava and Maggie was anything but. Their relationship added depth to the story and kept me engaged until the end.
If you're in the mood for something magical and cozy, I highly recommend giving "At The Coffee Shop of Curiosities" a read. It's the perfect book to curl up on a rainy day with a cup of tea.

I just loved this book! It just warmed my heart. What a sweet story. Makes me want to live in this quaint little town or one like it. I don’t. If this was a movie I don’t think it would have been my thing. It’s like a hallmark book on paper but something about this audio book made me just fall In love with all the characters, the story the town etc.
