I love all these books coming out lately about bookworm women who don’t care about impressing men (but of course end up with a great man anyway). This one was a little fluffier than Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, but has great humor and a lot of interesting trivia facts.
I really liked this book for the light story it was - for its genre, maybe closer to 5 stars.
Read hard copy- LOVED! Found this in a little free library and took a chance. LOVED IT! Nina leads a very predictable and scheduled life: work at bookstore, go to trivia nights at bar, read, sleep repeat. Then she gets startling news and notices a new guy. Lovely passages about the joys of reading and sharing books and loving LA. I highlighted so much! I was reading it during the Palisades Fire and it truly felt like a love letter to my favorite home.

A little slow in places and predictable but a nice feel good story. I could relate to Nina and her love of books. I loved all the references to books and the way Nina's thoughts are so real- the things we would never say out loud. It's great to have so many characters that are nerds and proud.
