The Pumpkin Spice Café: TikTok Made Me Buy It (Dream Harbor, Book 1)

3.5 overall. It could have been 4 stars for vibes and making me feel feelings. The second half of the book flew by and was very diverting and enjoyable to read, but it was really slow for me to get into, and events were a little too mundane/slice-of-lifey leading up to the romance. Some people complain about the relationship moving too fast. I don’t know how it could have happened any differently with this kind of storyline, but I don’t read these types of cozy books for the realism, in any case. It was fun and digestible. The conflict was formulaic and predictable, but I’m glad it wasn’t dragged out. The characters overcame adversity quickly, in a good way, because I don’t want to be stressed when I’m reading cozy books. The book just maybe could have used some better copy editing.
