Ok very interesting to hear your take on Pumpkin Spice Cafe - from reading the plot it definitely gave me these vibes so I haven't read it and it's good to have this confirmed. I like cute seasonal reads but there's a limit

OMG I actually wrote that in my Goodreads review about the gaggy Pumpkin Spice Cafe! I DNF'ed the audio version at 70% and this is directly from my review "the story itself almost felt like a bot was told β€œwrite a small town story but with sex scenes and make it fall”. No thank you.

Phew, I'm glad someone feels the same way. Sometimes the bookstagram world is a bit of an echo chamber. :o)

Truth! I think there’s books with similar GG vibes but a better story to enjoyβ€” The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living comes to mind first.
