This book was heartfelt and kind. I loved the goodness of all the people involved, even the ones who started out not good.

Beautifully written… anyone who loves reading can relate to this book.
A World War II bookshop is definitely my type of book and I wish I could visit Primrose Hill Books in real life. Overall though, I would call this just another WWII book. It was still good and I enjoyed it but nothing seemed to allow it to stand out. The people you expect to die, die, everyone does their part, she ends up with the guy. Another reviewer described the main character as “cotton candy” and I would agree. That being said, it did an excellent job of describing the war in London and the impact it had. And, the ending about holding onto books in a time of terrible distress and upheaval did bring a tear to my eye. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC! (Even if my reading was delayed.)

Boy oh boy how I loved this book. All the feels! The bookstore setting, all the book talk, highlights/quotes for days, the relationships, and did I mention the bookstore setting!! I’m proud to say a physical copy of this now sits on my shelf.
