The best part of this book was the main character's best friend. It was very Hallmark small town and then I did not like the romance at all—in fact this whole book was just like the other one I read by the author (little beach bakery) just baking swapped for books and an island swapped for small-town Scotland. That being said, it was a breezy light read. I just don't think I will read this author again as her books seem way too formulaic.

3.5 stars. A bit of light hearted literary fun. Helps that a good chunk of the book is set in the beautiful Scottish highlands with hunky Scottish farmers!

At first, I loved it.
Then when the Romance part happened, my interest slowly faded. As someone who doesn’t like the ennemies to lovers trope, it’s a big nay for me. This reading is also one of the few ones where I didn’t like the protagonist’s character… Nina was a bit annoying, to me. But, really, it’s more of a personal taste than a statement that this book is bad. It depends on the reader, ig.
However, if we put the Romance aside, i adored the descriptive paragraphs about Kirrinfief. When I picked up this reading, I wanted to escape somewhere where everything is turning out good at the end, and I found it. So overall, I enjoyed my reading. ☻

Very cozy and great escapist fiction, but the last third kind of falls apart and feels very rushed and out of character. I still enjoyed it and would recommend it if you love books and want to run off to the Scottish Highlands!!

Nina is a librarian out of a job. When the library she works closes, she does something unexpected. She buys a van and moves to the highlands to be a travelling bookstore. Although she has more than one person telling her how bad the idea is, Nina doesn't give up and although she makes mistakes along the way, she gets the hang of it, and she travels to village to village recommending books. Moreover, the landlord of the place she's renting, Lennox, is newly single, and it doesn't take long for the two of them to butt heads, but there is a thin line between love and hate.
I found this to be a warm and cozy romance amidst the Scottish highlands.
