• coffee shop vibes

• Gilmore Girls vibes!

I loved this so much! It was everything that I was looking for in a cosy and autumnal romance, and it was overall just a really fun read.

We follow Jeanie as she takes on her Aunt's coffee shop in the small town of Dream Harbour. After a series of mysterious events in the cafe leave Jeanie a little sceptical, grumpy farmer Logan joins in on the case to find out what is happening in Jeanie's cafe, as well as with his own feelings.

The characters are all so likeable, and such a dreamy setting. I could picture this small town and the autumnal atmosphere on every page, and it was the perfect book to read with a good cup of tea on a blustery day!

The grumpy x sunshine trope is also one of my favourites, so this just felt like the recipe for my perfect book of the month.

I highly recommend this for all the small town, grumpy x sunshine readers, if you want a cosy book you just can't put down.
