I thought this was a really hecking cute read, and I liked the writing style. Loved the inconvenient love story. I didn't super like the whole "I'm much too busy and emotional to eat," bits, which were quiet, but it does normalize not nourishing your body. I also liked the plot, but I kept thinking that if everyone would have just had a little brainstorming meeting, they could have found a resolution without all of the emotional hopelessness.

I wanted to live inside this book. Middlemass is the perfect quaint, idyllic, English countryside village, and seeing Jess build a life there was lovely. The pacing/timeline got confusing at points, but I loved the premise of the little library’s books helping the community and bringing people together. I also enjoyed the broad cast of characters — each was very distinct; I never found it difficult to keep up with the different side stories.
