It felt like (capital-A) Anxiety was the main driver of the conflict, and I just wasn't there for it.
It was fun for sure; a very fun read, but it didn't have anything really to dig your teeth into. And the parts that were in it felt like they just didn't have that much to grab onto.

I’m happy I found this book, which I only picked up because of the title, because “bookish life” really talked to my librarian self. I identified with Nina (of course), as it felt like this book was written specifically for me, or any other introverted book lover for that matter. It was a cute rom-com, with emotional bits and fluffy bits. I enjoyed the author’s pop culture references! I know the plot development isn’t for everyone, but I enjoyed the quirkiness so much, I don’t care, I loved it.
Cute and quick read. I thought it was a good "pallet cleanser " after some weightier books.

Very cute shortie read about a neurodivergent book worm (relatable) who finds what she wasn’t looking for.
I absolutely adored this book, I love Nina Hill so much. I’m happy I could live my dream of working in a bookstore vicariously through her! Would highly recommend!
I LOVED this book. I laughed out loud so many times. I could see myself in Nina, related to her in a way I never have with another fictional character before. I borrowed it from the library, but I think this is one I need to have in my personal library.
When you find the heroine so relatable that you can't help but think you were cut from the same fabric. I highly recommend it to book lovers who constantly makes references to books and pop culture in real life and to those individuals who spend wayyyy too much time browsing Wikipedia and falling down that rabbit hole.
