Incredible worldbuilding and really likable main characters. *Adorable* animals. Finally a romance where the setting and events aren't a backdrop but a part of the story! The relationship stuff started a bit trope-full, but built up really nicely. Cozy and realistic. The climax/ending felt a bit out of place and out of nowhere and featured (CW!) gun violence , which I really don't like, but it was at least over quick. Little bit let down we didn't get more cuteness or even a little spice once the hookup finally happened, but we can dream.
This was a somewhat polarizing book in my book club, which is funny since it's "just" a cozy fantasy. But the main character was difficult to like and root for since her debilitating social anxiety often leads her to be actively rude and mean to others. I did enjoy a lot of the zookeeping aspects of the book though, and the ending was worth getting to.
