matmatmatty 's review for:

The Pumpkin Spice Café by Laurie Gilmore
2.0
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A very low stakes romance.

If you're looking for something cute and fluffy, then definitely give this a try. But if you prefer romance with action/more things going on, then this might not be for you.

I personally didn't hate this but I found it a little lacking. I'm not a huge fan of stories filled with cis, white, straight characters and I think this was lacking in diversity which could have really improved it.

That being said, the story was cute (the romance felt a little too quick for me but it wasn't unreasonable). I think if you're a big fan of the Gilmore Girls vibe then you'd love this.
