No plot, only vibes.

I'll echo some other reviews I read: this reads like watching someone play diner dash and upgrading their cafe for the first time. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (and can be very wholesome!) but it also reads like a nanowrimo draft that could've used more edits which... It is. Theres also a fanfiction/forum roleplay vibe to the narration which also isn't my typical style, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

The concept is adorable and there's some great characters and funny little universe quirks that I thoroughly enjoyed. But this eventually got repetitive and, under that, it was tropes all the way down. Given all that, I wasn't the right audience for this book. I enjoyed it in small doses but did find myself looking forward to it being over. And I feel bad for saying that since it is a comfy cozy read but, in the end, it was lackluster for me.

Recommended if you want cute, saccharine, low stakes, if you don't mind repetition, and if you think the concept sounds cute (because it is and the book is exactly what it says on the tin). A rounded 2.5 stars.
