This was a sweet little story and I loved the main character's voice, but I think it needed to be either shorter or longer. Near the end it felt like it was kind of losing focus because there are so many side characters  for a book of this length. Most of it is kind of cozy and charming and then there's a terrible event that gets maybe 3 pages devoted to it near the end. Left me feeling a little weird.
