In all honesty I don’t usually like cozy reads and I’ve been pushing this book further down my tbr bc it’s so highly recommended but I’m actually really glad that it was chosen for my book club. I devoured it in one sitting. The humor was impeccable and the romance didn’t feel forced or too quick, I love a found family and the ending was super satisfying. I’m not sure if it changed my mind about cozy reads but it’s a treasure to have read. 

Edit: I came back to this after sitting on it for a while and multiple things occurred to me. All three of the children of color were raised by white people and had all of their cultures stripped from them, down to their very names. Also, the idea that Jaime would be over decades of trauma by his family after an hour of seeing them was absurd.
