3.5 stars. This was sweet, easy, and enjoyable. I love a good small town book with some magical realism, and this one checked the boxes. It just fell a little flat for me, overall.

Meh, very slow. Cute story, but nothing major happens.

I had a smile plastered to my face the entire time I listened to this book. Sending the biggest thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sending the audiobook my way for review. I am a sucker for magical realism...but throw in a small coastal beach town, a coffee shop, and the most incredible cast of characters...it is just utter perfection. I absolutely adored everything about this book. I would love to be transported to Driftwood right now so I could have hot chocolate with Estrelle. Author Heather Webber has woven together the perfect story of small town life, magical realism, and found family and I can't recommend this one enough!! Definitely a favorite of the year so far. 5Stars! Now I have to go hunt down any other book she has written!
