I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was lighthearted, sweet and incredibly funny. I connected with Belle in many aspects (particularly her perfectionism). I love the message of the story.

This book was soooo cozy and so cute, I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed every moment of it. I never would’ve thought that I would enjoy a book about discovering coffee but I did!

12 year old me was so pleased reading this book. I always wondered about Edward’s thoughts back then when I read twilight in 2009. However 29 year old me thought this book was much longer than it needed to be and nothing happened the first half of the book. All in all, I think it’s nice to read it if you grew up reading the twilight saga.

This book mentions a lot about what women go through: mental heath, judgement from family members, and being sexually objectified. It was a very interesting read to see how these issues are somewhat deal with/talk about in South Korea . This book is about one woman but the pov is from the husband, brother in law and sister. I find this writing style so interesting because I was so engrossed by what each character was thinking. Each character was able to convince me of their actions and I actually was on their side throughout their chapters. Once I moved to the next chapter, I saw how disturbing the previous character was.

The second part of the book had me in a chokehold and that’s why it’s a 5 stars for me. The ending was incredible and I have more questions than ever before. Can’t wait for book 2.
