A review by capellacutiexoxo
The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler
2.0
When I purchased The Bookstore, I read the reviews and I tried to get a feel for what the book was about.. I don't know why I got the impression it was going to be about "The Bookstore" and it's employees, their lives, etc.
After reading it I am left with a few thoughts. Firstly, I have it 3 stars because the story line was good. It kept me really interested in seeing what happened. The character development was a little lack luster.. What are Esme's parents like? What's that relationship? I wanted to know more about George, Luke, Dennis, Etc. It just seemed like there was no development of any characters and really not a lot of development of Esme. She's basically a English girl who gets pregnant and than throws herself repeatedly at the Father after being reject and toyed with over and over.
In the end I was left with more questions than answers and this being a standalone book it left me very aggravated.. Does she end up with Luke? There was clearly something building there. What happens with Mitchell & The baby and the lawyers? Does Josie ever get her Fathers ashes? What the heck was wrong with George near the end there when he starts to act strangely.. I don't know..
3 stars because I finished it.
