Really lovely feel-good read about a woman, Nina, who goes from being laid-off librarian to traveling bookstore owner! It's every reader's dream! Wished it had more descriptions of Scotland and setting in general

Review | It started out “eh”. It got really sweet though.
It was alright! A little predictable, a little more romance-focused than I usually like, but I loved her adoration of books, and I wanted to steal her job one day. It had a few good messages about things like social services and projecting your version of a perfect partner onto people. Cute read, cute concept, dragged on at times but there you have it.

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.)
