idk why this is considered "cozy" when i was stressed tf out. i love mess but not like this. the more i kept reading, the more i kept wondering, "why was this written?" because it wasn't for anything it was marketed for. i was hoping for bookish, adult, black women sisterhood of the traveling pants and got something more akin to not-fun gossip girl where everyone needs therapy and hates each other. the bookshop isn't even the focus and the "sisterhood" was the most toxic thing ever. if you enjoy convoluted messes and women being terrible to one another, this might be for you. i hope someone else takes this idea and actually makes it cozy because this was not it.
Wow, what an exhilarating journey! Initially, I anticipated a cozy and book-centric experience when I requested this read, envisioning a gathering of bookworms bonding over literary conversations and sharing their insightful wisdom (which did have a presence). However, it quickly veered into full-fledged soap opera territory! Drama with a capital D.
The dynamics within the so-called "sisterhood" were undeniably toxic. Constant clashes, secretive behaviors, and a series of questionable choices characterized their interactions.
Here comes the interesting part – I was captivated! Despite not typically gravitating towards soap operas, this book had me utterly engrossed. The exaggerated drama was irresistibly compelling, akin to witnessing a train wreck – you know it's not right to revel in it, yet you can't tear your eyes away.
Highly recommended for those who relish soap operas and revel in juicy drama

Definitely readable, but it feels very much like an adult book for adults who only read YA novels, which I mean in a value neutral way but is also not for me. At 160 pages in, I was like, do I want to be reading this? The characters are all annoying and everything is so blatantly telegraphed. There's a real lack of nuance like the book thinks I'm stupid. But with all my efforts at DNFing books I'm not enjoying, the sunk cost fallacy and fact that I was reading it for a library reading challenge took over. So, I did finish it! There is that!

I was surprised to love this book so much! After a few unsuccessful attempts at taking on my TBR, I landed on this book because of its themes of my favorite things: besties, books, and bevs! I loved the way that the narrative moved between each woman, and the way that the reader got a chapter with each of them while waiting for the other 3 to catch up. I felt that the plot was quite perfect, and I am so glad that this book caught my eye on the featured display at the library!
