First thought, when it says a short story it means it! When I began reading, I honestly didn’t know it was the 3rd book in a series. However, I feel I didn’t lose much information not having read those.
This story tells a tale of grief, loss, and love. Each character must come to terms with what life has thrown them and the decisions made by those around them. It was a short and sweet story. I liked the fact that we see the character’s growth. It was a nice and easy read.
However, because it was such a short story, I felt it was lacking detail and depth, where the character’s problems, complexities, and concerns were only touched upon without exploring them fully.
I received a free copy of The Bookstore Keepers by Alice Hoffman from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
