The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler

4.0

This is a love song to books and New York. Esme Gardner, comes to NY from England to do her PhD in art history. The book opens when she realizes she is pregnant and the father is rich, spoiled, Mitchell who doesn't want the baby. To make ends meet Esme works at a used book store which apparently caters to eccentrics. Esme discusses love, books, art, photography and music. She also has opinions about circumcision, marriage, breast feeding among other topics. This is not the usual chick lit although some might class it so. I could not put it down. Does she stay with Mitchell? Does Mitchell want the baby? Does she get her PhD? This one is fun, especially her descriptions of NY.
