It has some pretty funny moments, and the characters are interesting to read. I like the mix of the fashion world and the book world, by way of Mina's old job following her home. The mystery surrounding the bookshop is cool, and I want to know more about it. The murder mystery threw me off from how much they were interfering with the investigation. It really makes the police look incompetent. Not sure if that was what the author intended, but Mina succeeded in undermining them at every turn.
The audiobook Is good. The narrator's accent really puts you into the story's setting, which is a village in the UK.

Mina’s main personality traits are 1) that she’s going blind and 2) ignoring the constant compliments from the 3 bookshop occupants, which is just weird.
I don’t know if I’ll continue this series. It was tolerable once I started thinking of it like fanfiction but then I remembered I can read so much fanfiction that’s leagues better than this…

The book contains frequent themes of internalized ableism as well as workplace discrimination and the villainization of 'othered' neurotypes.applejacksbooks's review
