This was like reading a pretty decent hallmark movie. It's a wholesome story about a small cozy town, a cafe with home-cooked pie, family drama, and a sprinkle of magic. I picked this up because I wanted a romance, but the emphasis is on the family dramas and personal journeys. The romances are there, but they're off to the side and barely on the page. The magical aspects are not the focus either, they're mostly to facilitate the plot. This is a good summer read, it takes place right around the 4th of July, which is when I happened to be reading it.

I felt a strong sense of place and connection to the characters. This book was a warm hug.

I have changed my rating on this a few times.
Honestly the story was cute but in the end I felt like I wasted a lot of time for a lot of things to feel unresolved and unanswered. I read it for the magical vibes which actually wasnt that magical at all. I felt like none of that was explained or delved into and I left with more questions and felt dissatisfied at the end because of the lack of plot resolve.
