Solid four stars for Snowflakes Over the Starfish Cafe. I picked this book up on a whim for something cute to read and it didn’t disappoint!

Jake and Hollie both have traumatic pasts revolving around losing their family members close to the holidays. A cute little dog named Mr. Pickles crosses their paths, bringing them together as they slowly start to heal their open wounds from years past, showing that they may have been destined to meet all along.

This store is a cute, Hallmark-esque feel-good for the holidays that’s definitely worth taking a read. Redland does a WONDERFUL job and weaving their background of both Hollie and Jake into the story so we’re left wondering just long enough before she gives us what we want to know.

There were parts where Hollie’s writing seems to be redundant about her processing her trauma, but in all a lovely read!
