A review by ebonygreads
The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore

4.0

This was the perfect book to read for the autumn season. It really did get me in the mood to move to a small town somewhere, and it definitely gives off Gilmore Girl vibes.

I thought that the creation of the small town was so ideal and perfect. The characters felt so wholesome and real. FMC Jeanie moves to Dream Harbor to take over the cafe that her aunt has left her. She is thrown right into the deep end of owning a completely new business and living a small town life. This is where she meets handy Logan who is at her side when a new mystery takes over Jeanie's cafe. They hold a stakeout together full of lots of yummy snacks and well, spice! I would say it is a slow burn and I really wanted them to be together!

I loved the description of the settings and surrounding town. It was really refreshing to read. I also could appreciate Jeanie's anxiety and felt this was something very relatable for many people.
