Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC! I was initially drawn to The Bookshop Sisterhood because of the plot: four best friends teaming up to open a black-owned bookstore (technically 75% owned). I found the writing in this book easy to follow, even though it was told through four different POVs. The characters are bonded together through their love of books, so a lot of authors and books are name-dropped throughout the chapters. I didn't mind this and even put some of the books mentioned on my TBR! However, I mostly enjoyed reading the two out of four POVs. I also think the ending seemed a bit rushed and didn't have enough closure.
