About this listen

The first book of the viral Dream Harbor series by #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Laurie Gilmore!

TikTok Made Me Buy It – Winner of the TikTok Shop Book of the Year 2024, Sunday Times and USA Today bestseller. As seen on Good Morning America!

When Jeanie’s aunt gifts her the beloved Pumpkin Spice Café in the small town of Dream Harbor, Jeanie jumps at the chance for a fresh start away from her very dull desk job.

Logan is a local farmer who avoids Dream Harbor’s gossip at all costs. But Jeanie’s arrival disrupts Logan’s routine and he wants nothing to do with the irritatingly upbeat new girl, except that he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

Will Jeanie’s happy-go-lucky attitude win over the grumpy-but-gorgeous Logan, or has this city girl found the one person in town who won’t fall for her charm, or her pumpkin spice lattes…

The Pumpkin Spice Café is a cozy romantic novel with a grumpy x sunshine dynamic, a small-town setting and a HEA guaranteed!

Tropes:

  • Grumpy x Sunshine
  • Small town
  • Found family
  • Spicy

‘Gives off the same level of endorphins as taking a sip of an actual pumpkin spice latte… all the makings of a top tier Hallmark movie that happens to include a nice dash of spice’—People

‘With a name this cute and a cover this autumnal, how could I not cozy up with my blanket and relax with this adoring book?’—New York Post

Cheesy storyline. Thin plot. Unbelievable plot jumps. I think the author may have been going for unexpected, but felt forced.

If you’re looking for the ultimate cozy, fall-themed escape, The Pumpkin Spice Café is the book for you! This charming story follows Jeannie, a woman in need of a fresh start, as she leaves behind her corporate life and ex-boyfriend to move to Dream Harbor, a quaint small town that feels straight out of a Gilmore Girls episode. With its quirky townspeople, overly-involved neighbors, and town meetings, Dream Harbor might remind you a bit too much of Stars Hollow—right down to the meddling yet endearing residents.

Jeannie takes over her aunt’s coffee shop, The Pumpkin Spice Café, and faces the ups and downs of running a small business. From learning to manage a team to handling a bit of harmless but unsettling local mischief, Jeannie’s journey is filled with both challenges and heartwarming moments. Of course, it wouldn’t be a small-town romance without a brooding local farmer, and Logan fits the bill perfectly. He’s serious, a little gruff, but in no time at all, he sweeps Jeannie off her feet with all the hallmark moments you’d expect in a cozy romance.

While the story doesn’t break new ground in terms of plot, it’s the ideal comfort read. The small-town atmosphere, pumpkin spice lattes, and light romance (with a touch of spice, though it’s fairly vanilla) make this the perfect companion for a weekend curled up with a blanket. If you’re in the mood to immerse yourself in autumn vibes and escape reality for a bit, The Pumpkin Spice Café delivers just that.

Overall, I give it 3.5 stars. It’s predictable but endearing—a great pick if you’re looking for a sweet, feel-good read to get you in the fall spirit. Just don’t be surprised if you start craving a pumpkin spice latte (even if it IS less *pumpkin* spice and more skinny vanilla - IYKYK)

The coziest autumn read!
