This was an amazing read, thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made you smile and feel warm and furry all over.

Its a story of a Librarian, who is used to being alone except for her talking plant...loved this! She is forced to abandon the library to move back home to an amazing island that has so much wonder its candy for the senses. I loved all the many creatures that this book had and some that were very inventive, flying cats, oh my, and so much more This story was well written, couldn't put the book down. It had a natural flow with no wording hiccups at all, in my opinion. There was suspense, adventure, romance, friendship building, you name it it had it all. Just a joy to read, almost wish it wasnt over. Left a huge smile on my face.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

Meh. Confusing characters and slow story line. Not gonna happen.

What a wholesome little book. Really different sort of magical story. Really enjoyable and appropriate for all ages. 8/10

I am not sure how to rate this book (so I didn’t) because I simultaneously liked and disliked it. The details were charming and the humor simple and adorable. I loved the talking plants! However, I think a “low stakes” story simply isn’t my jam (pun intended. Because the protagonist owns a jam shop. Get it?). As adorable as this was, the story just could not grip me - yet I refused to give up for some reason, and I am a b!tch with NO qualms over DNF-ing a book. There was something I DID like here but I think it could have been a good 100 pages shorter, if anything.

Loved this book! The Sarah Beth Durst says it best, this book reads like drinking hot chocolate! Its cozy, cute, and a quick read. I wish there was more information in the end. Im nosey I want to know what the “after” looks like after the main event of the plot happens. I like to see the happily ever after more. Go check this book out! I loved it!
