A.J. Fikry
3 stars
Surprisingly disappointed by this one. It was fine, just nothing special and the ending fully pissed me off. I wanted more about the bookstore and less...sentimentality, I guess.

This book was so captivating. The characters are really well developed and the plot moves along quite well. Unexpectedly solid read - highly recommended.
