I found this a really lovely book to read. However it started so slow. I feel like the actually aim / ending of the book and building of the shop got lost in the lives of the characters. I think I wanted to hear more about the building and creating of the actually bookshop itself. Overall it wasn’t a bad book, I enjoyed the characters stories and they were built up and created so well as well as being beautifully written.

I love how this book weaved these women’s stories together. So often I feel like many authors will take a group of friends and milk 4 books out their stories and that’s nice sometimes. But sometimes I just want to see everyone struggling to fight their own fight while trying to be a good friend. It’s a great reminder to be kind to others because even those closest to you could be going through something you aren’t aware of.
