The book deals with a 25 year old woman that has just been broken up with and lost her job, so she moves into the library of her uncle who shes not very close to. It explores family relationships as well as being in your 20s and feeling a little lost but in a nice digestible way. Its a light book and got me back into reading,

even though it does have a couple mentions to harder topics like illness, depression and abortion theyre not too indepth.

3.0

I was expecting a cozy bookshop novel, which I guess this is, but it didn’t offer the warm fuzzy feelings I was seeking. This was… fine? It has family and love, heartache and redemption, all of which usually work for me. It’s is ultimately hopeful, but the pace was slow enough to feel rather plodding. The characters didn’t have a lot of depth to them, so it was hard to feel invested in their stories. Rather forgettable in the end.
