I found the blurb and general idea of this book to be quite unique, and having enjoyed The Lonely-Hearts Book Club, I'm sad to say didn't enjoy this nearly as much. Most of the characters were pretty interesting and okay, and I get what the author was trying to do, connecting everyone together, but I didn't like the revelation and the justification made no sense to me. I won't spoil it, of course, but it just felt so morally wrong (this isn't just about my love for HEAs, the closure has to be right).

A struggling librarian stumbles upon a love story written in the margins of a forbidden book - that ties her to her grumbly old neighbor and unfolds a wild tale of romance and loss - and a love of books.
I loved the way it played out - AND THAT TWIST! I didn't see it coming but it made a huge difference in the second half. Adorable, fun read.

It was a different story but I was not impressed or really captivated by any one moment in the book. It was a meh read for me but it was still somewhat enjoyable, I just went into it expecting a little bit more all around.
