Christina reviewed The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman
Review of 'The Bookish Life of Nina Hill' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Keeyootsee-wootsee fantasy, but the only chicklit novel I have read with two separate mentions in separate scenes in the 21st century of S.J. Perelman, a long-dead author whom I 'follow' on Goodreads, more than once.
I did like it, despite not being the target reader, for who can resist a smart, sarcastic, anxious, introverted, bookish trivia maven whose Sisyphean labors are found in a Bullet Journal?

I'd mention other things I read in the book, but I don't want the author to know how much I identified with three characters, and how abhorrent a supposedly pleasant, darling character is. Shh.
