I was not familiar with any of Michelle Lindo-Rice's previous works but the description of The Bookshop Sisterhood was one that I found intriguing. I worked for four years in a bookstore so I love anything related to bookstores.

Four best friends who decide to open a bookstore together. But before they can open the bookstore, each of the four friends has major life-changing events.

This could be the case of not all books are for all readers. I just found that each of the four main characters all had such major issues in their lives and it was a downer. I found it hard to relate to any of the characters and finally cut my losses by waving the white flag. Their lack of business planning in opening the bookstore was one thing I could not get past.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I did not care for this book very much. The writing was not to my taste, as I felt the author tried too hard to over- accentuate every movement. Nobody ever "walked", they clickety-clacked or thundered or tip-toed or skittered. I appreciate that to some degree, but this was almost annoying. Idk, just not the book for me. Ymmv.

This was not what I was expecting going into it. It has a lot of drama. These four women go through everything during the span of this book. It was less bookshop focused and more of a drama about these four best friends. Entertaining, but I wanted more of the bookshop!
