kristens_bookshelf 's review for:
The Booklover's Library
by Madeline Martin
I had heard so many good things about this book and was looking forward to this book so much. I REALLY wanted to love it. The first hundred pages had me hooked. The emotional parts were done well.
...but...the rest of the book kind of dragged out, was repetitive and predictable. The book should have been called "Us Against the World". The library wasn't the main focus as I was expecting and wanted. It was just the "side chick" to the "against all odds I shall protect my daughter" theme. The little that actually took place in the library, I feel like half the scenes were fluff. And can we talk about what a wet blanket Emma is? With all the women empowerment rah-rah going on in the story, when someone looks down on her for being a working mother or questions her motives, she turns into an Eeyore.
Super disappointed.
