Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries Books for an advanced reader copy. The opinions expressed are mine alone.
I was scrolling on Instagram when I came across another review for The Little Board Game Cafe and was instantly drawn in by the cute cover and book’s title. After reading the description I knew I needed to request a copy and was excited when I got the email notification it was approved! I wasn’t disappointed. This is a cute, clean romantic comedy that hints at more deep emotional themes like grief and the importance of risk-taking. Sprinkle in some mouth-watering dessert options (I still don’t know what a chorly cake is) and numerous board game references and you have basically summed up The Little Board Game Cafe. I enjoyed it and will definitely be mentioning this book to my friends.
