The coziness is there. Love the recipes and depictions of cooking and explanation of different plants and food and their meanings. I like the family reunion. Sadie was so annoying, I almost couldn’t stand her. Jake is a jackass. Seth is meh. Gigi was funny sometimes. I loved the aunts, Sage, and Sadie’s best friend that I literally already forgot the name of. 
The use of profanity feels like when a kid starts to cuss for the first time and it sounds awkward and out of place. 
The fake pregnancy and her getting back with Jake was gigantic eye roll.
