The most unexpected 5 star read ⭐️🫢

When I tell you I fell in love with this book, that would be such an understatement.

I’m not one for romance or a budding love centered plot but, this was so cute!

Such a cozy read! So many cute creatures!

And throw in a bakery and some magic!

So sweet!

I usually sell my books after I read them but, this one is staying in the collection!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
