The Coat Check Girl by Laura Buchwald
4.5
mysterious reflective medium-paced

All elements of this book blended seamlessly together for a wonderful story and start to a trilogy.

This takes place in a struggling restaurant in New York and the FMC Josie has just been through the loss of her beloved grandmother. She's also not doing well but starts to open up to the new coat check girl Mia. They both discover they have a special ability.

This book felt very Gothic. I love the found family of the restaurant workers. I loved that Mia comes from New Orleans so she just had this "flavor" about her that is refreshing. As things (that I just can't talk about... You need to discover yourself) come to light..I was kind of just in awe of not catching it beforehand.
