Delightfully sweet book about books that made me want to travel to Scotland immediately (well....when it's safe to do so again). A friend recommended this to me in the same breath as other romance novels, but this turned out to be lowwwwww on the steam scale compared to the other books I read. This was much more about Nina's journey of self-discovery, with a tiny bit of romance mixed in but mostly at the end.
The dedication alone is worth the price of admission (a love letter to readers and reading), and I can't recommend it enough.
Recommended for anyone who needs a very fluffy, light, relaxing read by someone who clearly loves books as much as you do.
Oh, and Lucy Price-Lewis MADE this reading experience (I listened to the audiobook). She handled all of the dialects beautifully, and was just a loving narrator. I want to pick up the next one just to listen to her some more. (Oh wait, I just looked and she doesn't narrate the next one. *sob* I'll just have to seek out her other work.)
