Tartufo by Kira Jane Buxton
2.5

Thank you to Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing for the complimentary ebook. I hate to say that this was a disappointment for me, but it was not what I was expecting from Kira Jane Buxton. It was all fluff, overly long (and overly florid) descriptive prose,  and no real bite. The characters were caricatures, and it all just felt silly. Quixotic books are NOT my jam, though. So if you like cozy, flowery, you know what you’re getting into at every turn and recognize the archetypes of comfort reads, this might be a great pick! It was absolutely not what I was expecting or endeavoring to read.😁
