A review by laheath
The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler

2.0

I had high hopes for this book but was disappointed. There is some great writing and memorable quotes, but Esme, the main character, seemed so weak. Given that she has left her home in England to study at Columbia, I really expected her to be stronger in most situations. She finds herself pregnant by a man she continues to chase despite his clear lack of interest in her. She ends up getting a job at a bookstore, where she meets some interesting people. Their relationships seem to be developing but never really get any deeper. The story seems to be going somewhere and then it just ends! It seems like their stories aren't finished, but I don't know that I'm interested in reading a sequel.
