I wanted to love this book because the cover is so beautiful. Sad to say I did not love it. I know I won't ever read it again. This is the first book to the cozy mystery series. Too predictable and slow

I really liked it! I was constantly changing my suspect and had fun with the budding romance between the characters. Super captivating and cute!

I loved the title of this book, the plot, the setting, and the characters (I totally judged this book by its cover). But while I did enjoy reading this novel, I felt it had a lot more potential and that it didn't quite live up to it. Some loose threads here and there and an overall sense of dissatisfaction. Perhaps as this book is meant to be the first in a series, it left us readers with some bits to speculate upon.
