A moving story of how Books can teach us lessons we didn’t know we needed to learn.

I wanted to love this book.
For me it didn't quite work as I hadn't read all the books in the titular reading list. I felt I had to skip through bits talking about the books I hadn't read to avoid spoilers which is jarring when reading, however for the ones I had read it was a lovely addition to the story.
It's a lovely wholesome book, though not always happy, but I would say you have to have read (or at least know the plot of) the mentioned books before you start.
