The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin
3.0

I’m a sucker for anything bookshop or library related, so I really wanted to like this, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. I appreciated reading about the blitz, but the writing felt forced and overdone (no one really uses the word “visage”) and it was all very twee. I liked some of the side characters more than the main, so I wish there had been more about them. Overall, this one was fine but not a strong recommendation from me.
