Midnight at the Blackbird Café
by Heather Webber
A charming, easy, small town folk tale that was easy to get into, especially by audiobook. Even though the book is all about trauma of the past and how people overcome, it doesn’t feel sad. The town and these characters make it all feel sort of lighter. Even the big “sad” reveals sort of feel inevitably ok. I liked the premise of a pie that makes you dream messages from deceased loved ones, and that charm helps you overlook that the tensions of the story - Anna Kate’s mom’s death, the interfamily drama, Natalie’s husband’s death, etc - aren’t really all that tense and the resolution of it all is pretty easy (just get over it).
