Battle of the Bookstores is my new comfort read. Ali Brady delivers a love letter to books, bookstores, and the people who adore them. The setting pulled me in immediately, and the way familiar romance tropes were turned on their heads kept me hooked. The banter crackled, the yearning was delicious, and the character growth landed exactly where it needed to. This wasn’t just a romance, it was a story that reminded me why I love reading in the first place. Warm, smart, and deeply satisfying, it’s the kind of book that left me smiling.

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

there was no chemistry, and both main characters are mean. just boring and not really interesting 

Ik heb dit boek gelezen met m'n boekenclubje. Leuk om samen een boek te lezen die ik normaal niet 123 zou uitkiezen

It was an enemies to friends to lovers trope. I thought the book was okay. There wasn’t anything memorable about it.
