I will now refer to every third act break-up as the "decision point"!!

"You've got mail" but set in a bookstore. Cute, compelling, and draws you in. Would recommend.

However the pacing toward the last 100 pages was extremely fast compared to the rest of the book and the attraction between Josie and Ryan at times felt forced/too fast for the part of the story we were at (ie. The Maine trip). Also wish the side characters (especially the family members and the cats) were a bigger part of the story. But I also really appreciated the lack of a 3rd act break-up.
