What a sweet book! I really have to check out more cozy books if they're all like this. It felt truly kind-hearted and good-natured in a way that I haven't read in a long time. It's not necessarily a story with very high stakes or tension, but it's a brief snapshot of a world and its inhabitants that are so pleasant that even the mob bosses can be bought off with pastries. There's a very real Stardew Valley-ish sense of progression as you grow to understand each character a little better and see how the coffee shop evolves. It's a nice story, and I hope I'm able to spend more time with Tandri and Viv at some point.
