A review by teresa_b
The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler

3.0

I was going to give this book 2 stars, but then decided on three, because there were things about it that I did like. The descriptions of various places around NYC were vivid, and it made me feel like I was there. The British references were fun, and I found myself caring about many of the characters. What frustrates me about this story is Esme's horrible boyfriend, and her decisions concerning him. I wanted so much better for her, and wished that she wanted better for herself as well. If this book is ever made into a Hallmark movie, the actor who plays Mitchell had better think long and hard about taking the part. Think Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon) in HBO's Game of Thrones...

All of this being said, should Ms Meyler write a sequel, I will give it a try. I am curious to know what happens next. It would also be interesting to understand better why Mitchell made the decisions he made. How does a person become like that?
