Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was just lovely from start to finish. That being said, I wouldn't call it a cozy read per-say. There were certainly cozy aspects to it, some of the characters were intensely frustrating (by design) that I found myself gritting my teeth while reading on occasion. For the cozy parts, imagine a book being delivered to your door upon request by a lifelong bookworm who truly cares about the lives of his loyal customers. He's occasionally accompanied by a cute tagalong sidekick in a yellow raincoat and a curious cat named Dog. How could you not fall in love? While the pace of the book overall was leisurely, the last act suddenly sped up, chalk full of drama and malaise until reaching a charming end. I honestly wanted to live in the characters' world forever. Maybe I'll return one day!
