DNF'd at page 150, it was reading to slow for me and it took me 10 days to read the 150 pages.

I really enjoyed this. I went in expecting a goofy, hallmarky romcom but got a sweet, heartwarming story about a woman rediscovering joy. I liked the side characters, I loved the MC and the love interest was sweet and believable. If Hallmark took the "Stardew Valley" game and swapped a farm for a cafe, this is what you'd get.

FFS, I cannot be the only person who thought I was reading about a retiree, looking to collect whatever UK's version of Medicare is (? I don't care enough to research this) and not someone MY OWN AGE who was starting over in life bc her husband is a shithead. I could have played a drinking game with how many times her saggy boobs were mentioned and everyone's gray hair was pointed out. While yes, one has a low self esteem after such happens, she otherwise didn't which made all the talk about SO MUCH SAGGY BOOBS SKIMMING THE BOTTOM OF HER RIBCAGE that much more odd.
Also a middle aged man does not use that many emojis, especially on the start.

Delightful story about an over 40 woman finding heralded and creating a home for herself after her husband cheats on her. I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of a seaside village and the community found there. It was also nice to see a “heroine” about my age being centered in a romcom.
