Auw this is such a cute comforting read. It's like a great big cuddle! Some books just touch you personally and this is one of them for me.
The whole storyline was truly heartwarming although a little sad at times. This book Is a massive shutout to all the libraries for all the good work they do. It goes to show that libraries aren't just about the books. It's so much more than that.
Ahh the characters I absolutely loved Stanley my heart literally went out to him. And Mrs B was just hilarious with all her complaining. We know she loved them really! I totally appreciated the diversity of the characters using the library I think sometimes there is a misconception and a stereotype portrayed around library users and this book shows that's definitely not the case. The sense of community within these pages was huge and bloody adorable, it just made my heart super happy.
I can't believe I left it so long to read this. Highly relatable and a great read for all my fellow book lovers ❤️

I thought this was sweet and heart-warming, and as someone who's an avid supporter of her local library, the central plot really resonated with me. I loved what the book had to say about the importance of libraries not just as book repositories, but as community institutions. I look forward to reading more from the author.

I didn't like the book at first and thought of DNFing it but I gave it a chance and it was really quite sweet.
