I really enjoyed the story of this book. It was wholesome, warm and cosy. The captured the atmosphere of a small coffee shop very well and I enjoyed the setting based story with common characters coming and going. The writing style wasn’t entirely to my taste, but after learning that the author was a playwrite first it makes a lot of sense. I would definitely recommend this book!
