It was a super cute story, with a dash of romance mixed. While I enjoy the beautiful escape of this novel I found the ending slightly lacking. I just wanted a bit more, but I think that’s just me being selfish.

I felt like the bookshop magic was ignored in a way I didn’t like. 
I loved Opaline’s story and thought Henry was funny. Martha didn’t grow on me the same way. 
Really appreciated the audiobook having a different narrator for each character.
