The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

2.0

---

I *really* did not dig this book, as much as I related to bits and pieces of it. Nina Hill is a solitary bookshop employee of a struggling bookshop (who somehow affords renting a guesthouse, eating out, a huge book habit, a pet and consistent exercise on that budget) who discovers she has a family and also love. She's quirky, tiny, not really attractive but also really attractive, loves reading and honestly does not feel like a real person. Plus, the ending was mega out of left field and felt incredibly rushed.
