I listened to this on audio. A must read for any book lover. So many relatable quotes but I’ll leave you with one. This is a quick read too! I wanted to read it before I watch the movie later this week. If I remember I’ll update you with my thoughts after watching the movie.
Also I have a book on my bookshelf called The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle that I haven’t read but I have a feeling will have a similar vibe - without a focus on books. So I think that one will move up on my already endless TBR.

AJ Fikry starts as a bit of an arse, but through artful character development, I came to love him and his quirks, and even relating to him in some ways. Overall the books is light, but when heavier themes are touched upon, they’re handled sensitively. The format is unique and quirky too, with AJ’s notes heading each chapter.
I listened on audiobook and thought the narrator was absolutely perfect - exactly how I imagine AJ would sound!
