Read this for a book swap, and it is not really my cup of tea (lol). It's just not the kind of book that I'd normally pick up to read for myself. I did enjoy the magical realism aspect of it, though. Especially the librarian who can talk to books; what a fun concept. That's definitely a skill that I'd like to have.
Part of the difficulty for me is that there is a lot going on in this book. There are a lot of different characters and plot lines happening that make some of the story a bit jumbled. There were some nice moments with the characters, and I enjoyed the emotional journey they all went on. Plus, this sounds like a cute town, and I wouldn't mind living there.
Not a bad read, but it won't be my favorite of the year.
