Sweet and whimsical novel with all the feels. Like-able characters with a plot that moves and characters that you can root for. Set in the Deep South in an artist town that has seen better days, when Anna Kate moves to Wicklow, AL this magical town begins to come alive again. She has so many questions to be answered and starts to get bits and pieces from all the gossipy neighbors. The reader gets topics such as regret, grudge, love, forgiveness, and of course family. I recommend this book when you need a break from the dreary or heavy topics going on from your day and don’t forget to look up all the author’s pie recipes tied to the book.
Amazing character development. Cozy, cheery, heart wrenching, comforting, funny. Just perfection.
Such a cute, wholesome story line. Lives up to the front cover, “Sometimes it takes a little magic to find your way home...” Makes you want to stop by the Blackbird Café and be welcomed by all the lovable characters.
I really enjoyed the magic realism and healing theme but did NOT enjoy the cheesy, shallow romance stories. The quick easy match-ups had so little depth and the dialogue and narration reminded me of YA teen romance drama. Every character's needs were just all wrapped up with their own little bows. Perhaps that was the objective; it just felt simplistic to take lifetimes of pain and seal them up so neatly.

A little Hallmark plus a little magic equals a lot of love. Time for pie and tea.
A cute cozy store about grief, family and choosing oneself. Fanciful in parts with some cringy dialogue but over a sweet read.
