A review by jaimereadsromance
The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler
3.0
This book just wasn't my cup of tea.
It wasn't poorly written or badly edited, it was a decent book that just didn't fit my taste.
It probably says more about me that I feel it was too "intellectual" for me. It was hard to follow along with at times because I frankly had no idea who or what she was talking about when it came to a lot of the art and literature.
I kept waiting for something dramatic or life-changing to happen but this just wasn't one of those kind of books. It would be a good read for someone who is interested in art and knows more about the subject or someone who isn't always looking for a HEA. Not to say that Esme wasn't happy at the end of the book or that you couldn't anticipate that she would have her love story after all but really the book just sort of ended.
I liked the characters enough, mostly Luke, but I never really felt connected to them.
I wouldn't advise anyone to NOT read this book but I think that the audience for this is sort of narrow. If your looking for a nice, simple read and consider yourself an intellect then by all means this one's for you.
