Nina Hill is an only child of a mom who was rarely in her life and an absentee father. Her "aunt" cared for her most often. Books were her one escape into a world where she fit in. No surprise that she grew up to be an introverted librarian. The whopper of a surprise is that her deceased father has left her something in his will , plus an assortment of siblings! I really enjoyed watch Nina navigate the familial waters while also struggling to maintain her first relationship. A very good read.

I listened to it. I think I would’ve been even more bored if I read it. Nothing happened.
More of a romance than I expected, but all in all a perfectly okay bookshop love story.

I will not refer to this as anything other then a general contemporary fiction cause I hate the other term.
This was delightful! I really loved it. It's a bit of a drawn out story about Nina Hill's life and finding out a lot of things she didn't realize. Overall I just really enjoyed reading about Nina's life. She's quirky but it all kind of works out in a way that doesn't feel manic pixie dream girl or overly done.
This is just such a delight and so fun! It has a HFN ending at the very least but the story is focused on her relationships with family and self more than the romantic elements.

I needed a “pick me up”- some hopeful,happy story. This was perfect. Any book with book, book store or library in the title normally catches my eye.
I liked this realistic fiction tale of Nina Hill- book worm, trivia buff, loner, organizer and affected by anxiety. I enjoyed the almost “bullet journal” esque chapter intros of the “to do’s” for the day. I also loved the nod towards 80’s television show Knight Rider which was one of my favs growing up.

I loved this book!
This book is funny, smart and lovely, and full of pop culture.
Meet the heroine a introverted bookworm, with a cat and a quiz team.
Meet funny characters and funny thoughts and funny situations.
I think that if you are a bookworm, you should read this nerdy romance.
I will definitely read more books of Abi Waxman.
