A wonderful introduction to cosy fantasy, this book explores Viv and her journey to set up a cafe with lots of fun characters (Thimble being a personal favourite) and lots of cosy descriptions. Wonderful escapism.
My one critique was the epilogue, I didn't think it was needed and if so, I think it could have focused on other characters; I wasn't very fussed about who it discusses and it jarred me out of the bubble of the ending. This is why it was not a 5 star read, but it was damn close as it is just so lovely.
Not necessarily a moving or intellectual read, but a good book to read/listen to when you want some small cosy joy in your life.
