I loved this book! It was a beautiful story that gradually peeled back the layers of its characters through adventure, honesty, grief, loss, and eventually, love. Refreshingly different from People We Meet on Vacation, with it's witty and thick-skinned characters. However, whereas PWMOV felt more like a whirring, exciting, adventure that took me away from my daily worries, Book Lovers gets real, and talks about trauma and grief. I love that in a story, it's what makes us human, but you might want to read through content warnings before picking up this book. Overall, really enjoyed this read, and really loved the characters!
Moderate: Abandonment, Death of parent, and Panic attacks/disorders
