This was my first cozy romance, and it's definitely 5 stars for me! ⭐ Although I was initially disoriented by the timeline, I quickly realized the story was cleverly structured, starting with the main character's past. Once I grasped the premise, the story quickly gained momentum and flowed together seamlessly. I was particularly drawn to Viv's storyline—her desire to leave her past behind and open a coffee shop was compelling. It was fascinating to see her pursue her dreams while navigating the challenges that arose, including the arrival of a certain love interest. It was a delightful read! ☕💖
