*had to return this back to the library so that's why it took so dang long to finish lol

This book is such a beautiful one! I love the dual POV, the mystery aspect, the birds, the cats, the Café, the baked goods, the Alabama atmosphere!! Just everything was so cozy and I loved it so much!

The characters of Anna Kate and Natalie also coming to terms with their own struggles and grief was powerful to read about. Such a beautiful novel!!!

Some of the previous reviews talked about this being more sugary sweet than a piece of pie, and it is quite sweet...which I don't think is a bad thing. I ate it up. Everyone has their sorrow that they carry, and blackbird pie offers a slice of comfort for those who grieve. The characters are good people trying to make the best of what life has dealt them. Even the antagonist's bitterness is relatable. There's just the right amount of mystical realism to give the story some flavor, without overpowering the other ingredients in the story.

It was a bit predictable, there weren't any shocking revelations that came out of left field. But Wicklow, Alabama was a comfortable place to spend a few days, meet some new folks and enjoy some mystical pie and I hope I get a chance to return there someday.

A strong 3.5 for me, it was just a cute “big city girlie moves to small town for plot” story but I liked the relationships between the characters the most.
