The Pumpkin Spice Cafe is a cozy romance featuring a small town, gossipy locals, a reclusive farmer, and all the pumpkin spice that you could want.
I’m trying to be better about reading seasonal books in the right season. After seeing this book all over the place, I had to give in and read it for myself. It’s cute for the season. It’s a very light read and there’s hardly any strife. I definitely recommend this as a fluffy read or a palate cleanser after an intense book.
I enjoyed the quirky townspeople (especially the smutty book club!). I found the characters to be relatable and likable, but I also found myself unable to get very invested in the story. I was a bit bored and just kinda wanted it to end so I can move on to something more exciting. I do think I’ll read the next book in the series but probably not until I’m looking for a comfort read.
