Quick read. It was cute. I loved the main character’s love of books but I hated her unrealistic expectations and lack of awareness.

Chasing dreams. Romance and heart break.  Book obsessed women. Had a vintage feel to it. Set in Europe. Feels like an actual story. So many story’s in one. Felt like life, bits and pieces of everything. “Most nights, not every night that light is on. Who is there? Can they not sleep? Is it a baby? Every time I wonder. Who are these life’s all here one after the other, and how kind of them to let us peer in, how generous of them.” “There was a universe inside every human being, every bit as big as the universe outside them.”

This is a book you should never ever find in a used bookstore, because it’s a book you will want to keep forever. It’s a book about books. It is a book for ALL readers. I love everything about this story. I love how Nina wants to create a traveling bookshop that can reach all readers. I love the setting of Scotland. I love the love in this story. I love the cozy descriptions the story carried throughout. I love the laughter this book brought me.

This is a book for you, and you, oh and also you over there. Yes, I’m talking to you.

This book was SO cute. It made me fall in love with Scotland and everyone there. I’m also very happy that she ended up with Lennox. Such a wonderful ending. Great great book

Enjoyed the cozy vibes but there really wasn’t much of a plot. Definitely a read for anyone who has a love for books.
