4.0

 I really thought this would be a high 3 at best, but after ruminating on it I feel like it should be a 4 even if just barely.
This book had no "plot" in the sense that there was no main thread to follow. It was, rather, a handful of smaller threads that despite being small were enjoyable. I do not like cozy literature, nor do I like "sad people thinking" books. Despite this, Emily Austin had me wrapped in.
I liked all the characters, I liked the small plots. I didn't get bored and I didn't feel like my time was wasted. It is the best example I've read of a good "sad girl cozy etc etc." and some of it was even relatable.
I do critique that it feels similar to her prior work, specifically in that the MC's of both could be more or less swapped, but that may say more about Austin's personal influence on them.
