Amazing book, I read it in 2 or 3 days! It’s a book about books so what’s not to love? I enjoyed that the author mentions certain book titles as character faves to give insight into that characters’ personality and some insight into their relationships with other characters. I especially loved the mentions of Middlemarch as I read and adored it earlier in the year!
The characters are complex, you love them but get frustrated with them at times as well. The short chapters made it quick and easy to read, so I could easily pick it up whenever I had a moment to read. The author does a great job with the setting as well, I felt like I was on Cape Cod and now I want to go there even more!

This is the author’s first book and I can’t wait to see what she writes next 😍
