A great book. Though me and Ed almost fell out. :)

They all get their bookishly ever after! Yay!
No, but seriously that epilogue was quite emotional and I have loved every day of this series and I am so happy for Lucy.
So apart from Mrs Simpkins, Ed has always been one of my favourite characters in P&HS and having a final book from his perspective was great. I loved the low key chaotic energy that was spread throughout the book and there were moments that I may have laughed too hard on public transport from this book.
Like all of Lucy's books, you feel her in the pages, from the guinea pig references to Hannah's blog but they still work on their own as part of the story. With Hannah as well it was great to see autism represents and even though I can't speak on the representation in was still felt good.
I just loved the bookish energy. From the bookshop setting to the murder mystery to the watch along, I loved so many elements of the book and the representation of the friend group. All the characters shine and I love them all so much.
It was also a really quick read and that is a credit to Lucy's writing. I can't wait to see what Lucy releases next as I feel like it might be different but I will still be in line.

(I actually had to write this review down physically first, because Goodreads wasn't working and I contain my feelings.)
I kid you not I was crying between pages 240 and 260 (not exact numbers), I was crying for Ed while being extremely mad at him for leaving Hannah, including feeling sorry for Hannah. Then I felt like crying again when I found out that this was going to be the last Paper & Hearts Society book.
I have had so much fun reading this series, even if I did accidently read it out of order. They all have I special place in my heart for difference reasons.
First book: Tabby, her Gran and the creation of the club.
Second book: the whole book in general and it's representation.
Third book: Hannah, her blog and a happy Ed. (Even Tabby's Gran again)
And whenever I get the chance to get this whole series to own for myself I will take it.
I love Cassie, Olivia, Henry, Tabby and Ed, even the temporary Read with Pride members. Who do also have a cameo in this book.
Hannah's blog posts were what made me the most happy and I'll be adding any books that she talks about (and haven't read ) to my TBR. My favourite line is still the one Hannah writes in her first blog, "It's also great to read books with neurodiverse protagonists, because there's nothing like reading a book with a character like you."
I am truly happy to have read this series and I look forward to seeing/reading any other book Lucy Powrie publishes (if/whenever).
P.s. I wish there had been a book club like this when I was in my teen and even wish I was in one now.

I didn’t really like the plot because the miscommunication trope makes me slightly uncomfortable but I appreciated the cosy vibe and I love the autistic love interest.

Thanks to NetGalley for granting me access to the third instalment of the Paper and Hearts Society series. This time round the group are dealing with some shifts in their relationships, but a love of books will get them through.
Ed has got himself a job in a local book store. He’s determined to give it his all...but he didn’t count on his new co-worker Hannah. Though initially put off by his exuberance, Hannah finds herself falling for Ed.
The book focuses on the developing relationship, offers some insights into autism and shows some cute guinea pigs.

Words can never describe how happy this makes me and how much I love these characters. My heart is so full.
