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.

This was a great palate cleaner after reading some dark thrillers. I didn’t love it as much as Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe, but it was still a cute and charming slow burn of a story.
