3.0

I’m at a crossroads with this one. Not quite cozy enough and not quite exciting of a plot line to make me want to continue. I think for me it was the writing style that didn’t work? Maybe? After DNF-ing this in July, I’m glad I at least gave it a second try.

3.0

I can only compare this book to Legends & Lattes for the theme of adventurers settling down to open a cozy shop. But where Legends & Lattes focused primarily on the development of the shop itself, this book tried to straddle that same relaxed energy and multiple life-threatening dangers, and - for me, personally - it didn't quite strike the right balance. There were several interesting plot points involving mystery and danger, and so when time was spent on the cozy shop and loving relationship I found myself getting bored and impatient, wanting more of a focus on the other plot lines. 

(Mild)

 

The shop and its success was also established very quickly, so I wasn't at all invested in that aspect of the book for most of it.

Fans of Travis Baldree will most likely enjoy this one. Everything about it is cozy and warm, with an extra large helping of fluff. There are a few moments of peril and some illness/injuries, but overall, this book is extremely light-hearted and a delight to lose yourself in. 

If you fantasize about starting a bookshop in a town where you can choose who you want to be, with the love of your life by your side, then this book is for you.
