I'm normally not a romance reader, I cringe a lot at most of the romance books I've read. However, I ate this shit up.  Finally a strong, non-whiny fmc in a romance book, she gave black cat vibes. The setting and some of the characters made me think of Gilmore Girls. Charlie was a bit like Jess, Libby made me think of Sookie. The small town I pictured was like Stars Hollow, even the bickering at the town meeting. Amazing! And the ending was so beautiful and perfect, tears were streaming down my face. I liked this book quite a lot. At the end, there are some scenes and jokes, that refer to the beginning of the book and I liked the full circle moment that those scenes created. Deserved 4.5 stars. 

The ending with Libby working at the shop so that Charlie could go back was very predictable. And could've been done earlier, but I get the dramatic effect of the timing.
