This was a cute book, but I could've used a little more bookish-ness for that being in the title! I found Nina at times super relatable (all the introvert stuff and the love of books/organizing/planning) and at times suuuuper frustrating (everything with Tom!!!)

I wanted Nina to have more interaction with her new-found family. Conflicts with them were resolved pretty quickly.

Nina Hill lives by herself with her cat and works in a local bookshop. She loves order and routine and is not spontaneous at all and she likes that. One day, she is notified that her father, who she never knew existed, has passed away and she’s been named in his will. She also finds out that she has brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews and not everyone is happy to have her as the newest member of their family. On top of that she’s finding that she’s falling for someone. Did I mention that she also suffers from anxiety when things get to be too much for her?
This was such a great read and there are definitely aspects to Nina’s life that I could relate to. Highly recommend this book!!

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.
