It was quite reflexive and encourages to read more which I liked. Good to have been given a reading list.
The plot with the reading list landing with different people didn't quite stick with me but in general it was a fun read.

I loved this story from beginning to end. It is a captivating narrative that showcases the importance of books, libraries, readers, and communities. Avid readers may find many of their favorite books included in the story.
The story revolves around the heartwarming friendship between two main characters—a young pre-law student dealing with challenging family circumstances and a Kenyan gentleman in his seventies who has recently lost his life partner and struggles to adjust to his new life. Several other significant characters shape the narrative and add depth to the story.
The story explores the theme of dealing with grief and highlights how books and libraries can unite people and help them support one another during difficult times. It tells a tale of strength and resilience in the face of sadness, isolation, and hardship.
