I had some high hopes for this book but it feel flat on a few levels. Any time there is miscommunication in a book, I am internally screaming at the characters and it kind of takes away from the story. Thank you Netgalley for this book
I wanted to like this so much more than I did. The concept is so perfect but I think it could’ve been excited better. I had to read the phrase “all the feels” three times and the descriptions of the main characters outfits sounded right out of polyvore circa 2012 in a way that really took me out of it.

I'm really sad about this book. When I read the blurb to 'The Bookbinder's Guide to Love' I was so excited to meet Serafina and just fall in love with her story but I didn't. This book felt like a white-noise book to me and I'm absolutely devastated about this. There is definitely an audience for this book but that audience isn't me.

The writing feels very clunky and unnatural to me in too many places. It isn't totally unreadable but I just don't have it in me to power through right now.
A witchy, witty, wickedly sexy romance about love, books, friendship and the unexpected connections that bind us together…

Always enjoy a multigenerational friendship and one that brings two people together. Serafina had a unique shop and I just loved listening to the book binding and the magic that she put into each item.
The death of her elderly friend and him leaving her some items gets his grandson Wes to come knocking. He's very skeptical at first then I'm pretty sure he falls first. But they are so used to being alone that they push each other away. I guess there's some miscommunication which my God this space hates it's like miscommunication isn't a real life occurrence. I'm so tired of hearing people dismiss books cause of it.
This one was a cute, grumpy sunshine in a witchy new age bookshop.
