Biggest downside is I could see it coming once I got halfway through the book. The book itself was good, felt a little bit like little Paris bookshop. An interesting plot, but sometimes it felt forced or a little too heady for its own good

5.0

I adored this book. It is not something I would usually pick up, typically sticking to romance or thrillers. The Lost Booshop spans across multiple genres, including bibliophilia, magical realism, fantasy, historical fiction, and romance. I feel like this book was a perfect mix of reality with a dash of magic. It's great for a beginner in these genres like myself. I also adored the historical fiction relating to many classic authors, including the Bronte sisters. Not being a lover of classics, I loved how we got to 'fictionally' find out a little bit more about these authors without actually reading a classic.

To me, this book felt like a warm hug. It covered some serious and disturbing topics but was done well and left me championing both Opaline and Martha to get where they needed to be.
