Are we sure I can't give this 6/5 stars? Or more?
(I received a free copy of this book as an ARC reader, and I'm leaving this honest review voluntarily.)
I knocked back this book like it was a healing potion. Or a potion of coziness. Either way, I wanted every drop of it and I didn't want it to end.
The cast of characters is immediately likeable and relatable. The setting is vivid and interesting, but super easy to step into. I was grinning from page one and almost forgot to drink my coffee. Really vibrant imagery that conjures a stunning world of colour and smell.
Rarely have I related so hard to a character like I did Ambrose. I kept having to stop reading just to give him an invisible air hug. I think it's awesome how the author created a grumpy, anti-social protagonist and yet made him so likeable.
I told a friend that "Tom is so adorable I had to scream into a pillow about it".
This book is comforting, enchanting, and just lovely. I will be re-reading and re-reading until there's more.
