Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe: A Novel

Thias book had me laughing and crying on the same page. I loved it.

This was like reading a pretty decent hallmark movie. It's a wholesome story about a small cozy town, a cafe with home-cooked pie, family drama, and a sprinkle of magic. I picked this up because I wanted a romance, but the emphasis is on the family dramas and personal journeys. The romances are there, but they're off to the side and barely on the page. The magical aspects are not the focus either, they're mostly to facilitate the plot. This is a good summer read, it takes place right around the 4th of July, which is when I happened to be reading it.

Content Warnings:
Graphic: Grief and Panic attacks/disorders
Moderate: Cancer, Death, Car accident, and Death of parent
Minor: Alcohol, Suicide, and Child death

So, So So good. I didn't want this amazing story to end! I loved all the beautiful relationships and small town going-ons. Such a wonderful setting and I can totally see it in my mind.
