minipanda 's review for:
At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities
by Heather Webber
2.5 Stars
I like the concept but, I couldn't connect with the story.
The story follows two women and their struggles to move after the death of a loved one.
Ava blames herself for the sudden death of her ex-boyfriend. One random day, she received a mysterious letter that led her to the small town of Driftwood, Alabama. Ava took the letter as a sign and decided to restart her life. That's where she befriends Maggie.
Maggie never accepted her mother's death. Even when she took over her mother's coffee shop, Magpie's, she kept everything the same. Hoping that if her mother ever returns, it'll be exactly the way she left it.
I wanted to love this novel. I was looking forward to the small town and witchy vibes. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to connect with the story or characters. I also wasn't a fan of the slow pacing. I ended up skimming the last 35% of the novel. Overall, it wasn't for me.
