The Bookshop Sisterhood by Michelle Lindo-Rice

2.0

---

This book follows 4 best friends who want to open a bookstore but their personal lives get in the way. I really do wish that I enjoyed this book because I liked the meaning of the story of how these 4 friends love each other and would help them at their hardest times. Sadly the author didn’t do the best job. This book was messy, chaotic, and just so much was happening at once. First the MCs were all dumped into one chapter so it was hard to figure out who was who. Then just everything started that it just became too much. This book was told from Celeste, Yasmeen, Toni & Leslie’s pov. 

 

I won’t go indept of each character but I do have to say that the book felt more like Leslie’s story. I felt that I read so much of her character. But overall, the women in this book made some questionable choices that could have been resololved so easily. Even as a woman myself, I never seen so much drama that made me question myself many times. 

 

The ending I didn’t care for and after all the truth came out to their loved one, it felt like the MCs were like “oh I was silly”. I just wasn’t getting the whole vibe of this book with the way of the story was. I could kind of see what the author was telling it’s readers but it just went way overboard. Also I have to say that the cover made me think this was entirely about a bookstore but the bookstore didn’t even feel like a part of the story.
