Well, this was adorable! I love seeing romances centered around bookstores, and getting to see Bobby pivot when he doesn't get the summer of his dreams was great. It's his relationship with Luke that helps to inspire him to pivot on his goals for the Corner Bookstore. It's great to see a character who is willing to make challenges when they realize that they are going the wrong direction.

This is billed as a romance, however I would have liked to see more of Bobby and Luke together. Once they finally get together at the end, the book wraps up pretty quickly, which is unfortunate because I do think they had a fun chemistry together!
