I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
It's a cosy little read, which gave me T. J. Klune vibes with a side order of Hallmark movie. Just a side order, though, it's not a romance book, it's a book about finding your own path, about grief and friendship. The cast of various magical creatures were a delight, although the misunderstandings involved with the minor characters were a touch contrived and it also felt like Max was giving up too quickly. Three customers in one week who might have had an issue? That's literally just working retail. In fact that's good for working retail. So a little bit annoying but at the end of the day there is a happy ending that doesn't result in our heroine making out with the local florist, and where her city life isn't entirely set by the wayside. Hallmark tropes avoided, thank goodness. They're really not for me.
4 out of 5 stars
