Simply put, this story is a love letter to books and bookshops; it’s warm, cosy, romantic, funny, and exactly what I needed. After reading the first book last year, it was great to come back to the characters and spend more time with them. I love, love, love the dialogue - both adult and child, and I find it hard to imagine anyone not falling for them. My only gripe was the pov hopping in chapters, but I’m even willing to forgive that. I really wish there was another one in the series!
