This book made me so happy. I don't want to spoil too much but a happy ending, complete with Much Ado About Nothing reenactments... the dream, truly. I've loved Lucy's YouTube channel for years now and it turns out I love her writing too ❤️

The Paper & Hearts Society series by Lucy Powrie is one of my most favourite ever sets of books. The final instalment of the series, Bookishly Ever After, was just as amazing as the others.
I have rated this book as 4.5 as I rated Read with Pride 4.75 and that is my absolute most favourite of the three. I very rarely rate 5 starts so this rating is practically best-of-the-best for me.
This book is told in Ed's perspective. He has so much on his shoulders, so many tough things he is dealing with at once: new job at the bookshop, building a friendship (and potentially more with colleague Hannah), his mums just revealed she is dating someone, his Dad is being distant and then once he is in contact, is just vile and favouring his brother. This is on top of all the college, friendship, general life for a 17 year old to be dealing with. Just so many big feelings, all at once, for a teenager to be dealing with. In all of her books, Lucy Powrie is an expert at conveying just how intensely teenagers can feel their feelings, which I think is so important to show.
The prologue of this book is set on the 1-year-anniversery of the first ever Paper & Hearts Society meeting. I couldn't quite believe how much this group of friends has been able to fit in over just 365 days
This series is such a comfort read to me and will be one I will frequently re-visit going forward. This series very much feels like home- thank you so much for writing it Lucy <3

You mean to tell me that this is the last Paper and Hearts Society book?! I never want it to end :(

I inhaled this in one sitting. Loved being back with these characters and following their adventures. I enjoyed how the story followed Ed through his first job, family issues, and a new friendship. The epilogue was brilliant. I'm sad to see this series end.
