The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman
5.0
Loved it! I loved the story, I loved the references to 90s culture and TV shows (I probably missed some!)
Edit: After a re-read, this is 5 stars. I loved it. By the end of chapter 1, I'd laughed, read sentences out to my husband, and ordered my own copy (I was reading a library book).
Nina is complicated. But she brilliant. She's funny, anxious, bookish, and full of trivia. Phil the cat is amazing, everyone needs a cat like Phil to give advice.
I already want to re-read this to sit and investigate all the books mentioned.
