I'm sure it's a lovely book. But I just don't have the time or patience for this kind of books I realize. So while it sounds amazing I mean a book about a bookstore which reader doesn't want to read about that?

I certainly do. But it's just a little too long winded for my tastes.

And that's precisely where my problem lies you see: most of time with feelgood I think oh it sounds soo cool but then I see what the genre is namely: feelgood, roman, romantasy or anything of the likes. And the second problem is that they're soo thick about 500 pages or more. And while that wasn't the case with this book. It's still too long winded partially because of the description of situations, things and people. Such that I think jeez move on.

And I don't have that problem with Children's/ Young Adult books most of the time.

My problem with Young Adults and feelgood also is: the amount of smut/s*x. 

I want to read books Like Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and the Hunter's Apprentice not over sexed books or over sexualized characters.

I want to read in the age range of 12-15 is that so much to ask?!

I loved this book despite the dual time-line, which should be ready for retirement soon (PLEASE), and three major plot cliches. The characters are sympathetic and the story is well-developed and written. If you have the ability to forgive the triteness of the twists, I think this is a fun way to pass a few hours.

Should not have overlapped this book with book lovers!! Too similar and unfortunately book lovers hit all of the spots that with love from London couldn’t not. Where as book lovers mocked the hallmarky tropes of a married man leaving his wife for a 20 somethings bottle blonde - someone movie to a new place and serendipitously finding a failing business to rescue- leaving the big city to skip through the field - add a cappuccino & some snow flakes - along with a cat and a cranky old woman - then accidentally finding true love that was always right there & staying in said new city and living happily ever after… we’ll spoiler that was this book.

It felt like the author got sick of writing the book and was watching a holiday hallmark movie and copied that down for the last 5 chapters. Hasty and cheesy. I love a good cheesy cozy romance so I think I would have liked it more had I known that was the was the vibe going into reading it but I for some reason have an aversion to reading the dusty covers thoroughly, however I think the romance would have been much better had it been between Valentina and Liza!!!
