Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by C.B. Lee

3.0

---

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year, but sadly it fell a little flat for me. I'd seen it marketed as a fun and cosy book, but I didn't think it felt very cosy at all, so I kind of went in with the wrong expectations. I love the concept of this of two parallel worlds colliding, but the execution felt a little slow to build up, a little chaotic at times, and not as fresh and original as I was hoping. That's not to say I didn't enjoy this at all, but it didn't live up to my expectations and I didn't feel as emotionally invested as I'd like.
