Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe was a charming, folksy tale of small-town life where everyone knows and talks about everyone and everything that happens. Anna Kate is the granddaughter of Zee, who recently passed away and left her Blackbird Cafe to Anna Kate with some special strings. Since Anna Kate had promised her mother (deceased 4 years prior) that she'll attend medical school, she has short timeline to work at the cafe, tie up legal ends of cafe and get to school. Everyone keeps telling her that she should stay and run the cafe, but she declares: A Promise is a Promise.
Meanwhile, she interacts with her father's family, who shunned her mother after her father was killed in car accident. Lots of drama! It was a sweet book, very predictable, and too much happened way too fast, but after all, it is fiction.
This small-town life reminded me how much I could never live in a place where everyone is in your business. But some folks like that, so I'm glad we all have choices.
Now, back some grisy psycho-thriller for me!!
