The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
by Abbi Waxman
If I could write a book, this is the one I would write. Not only does it celebrate book lovers it has great recommendations for future books.
This book reminds me a little of Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine. Nina Hill, the bookish only child of a single mother who traveled the world, kept herself surrounded by books while growing up. Now in her thirties, she has her dream job of working in a bookstore, spends her free time socializing on a trivia team and schedules her day down to the minute by her trusty planner.
One day she is visited by a lawyer who tells her that not only has the father she never knew died, she also has new siblings, nieces and nephews that are eager to meet her. Always uncomfortable around strangers, she now must incorporate a new family into her already busy life.
There is a love story in this that is wonderful because there is no outlandish or unrealistic drama that unfolds.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to curl up with a good book or looking for new authors to read.
