The Lost Bookshop (B&N Exclusive) by Evie Woods

3.5

---

The Lost Bookshop was a step outside my usual reading genre, but I found myself drawn in by its charming atmosphere and layered storytelling. The mystery woven throughout the narrative kept me turning pages, and I appreciated how the characters’ paths slowly intertwined in unexpected ways.

While the book hints at magical elements, I was expecting more overt or immersive magic. Instead, the story leans more into whimsical realism than full-blown fantasy. This subtle approach may appeal to readers who enjoy a touch of wonder without leaving the bounds of reality entirely.

Overall, I’d recommend The Lost Bookshop to fans of light mystery, historical fiction, and those who enjoy stories with a whimsical, bookish charm. It’s a gentle, engaging read, perfect for those who like their mysteries with a literary twist.
