3.5

This was a really sweet cozy read, more of a slow burn. I enjoyed the patrons and the folks who worked at the cafe. Apart of me wished that this wasn’t written in third person, I think it took me awhile to really get into the story because of that and I think it caused some type of separation between me and the characters. 

I feel really comfortable rating this 3.5 stars. It was well written, but did not really wow me.
