* Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. *

With charming magical realism and a distinct semblance to Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells, Heather Webber's Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe is a wonderful and heartwarming work. The story is emotional and somewhat mysterious, with a fabulous cast of characters that are reminiscent of a gathering in Stars Hollow. Loved, loved, loved this so much. A fantastic read for those wishing to get their feet wet with magical realism or for those who need a bit of a reading pick-me-up to get out of a slump. Good writing, great characters...one of those books I deem huggable.
