The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

I really enjoyed this book. I initially read Christmas Tree Farm, and then decided to read the rest of this series in 'order' although they seem separate enough to be able to read at random anyway.
The pacing was pleasant and I really like the diverse personalities that appeared, it was a cosy story albeit the below (minor spoiler I guess) knocked a star for me but i understand that, as with any book, it is all down to personal preference really!
I was not a fan of the prolonged spicy scenes all grouped at the end, i enjoyed the continuous suspense, but i personally felt it went on a little too long during the conclusion to the story
