The Christmas Bookshop
by Jenny Colgan
This was a really cute read. Some moments were slower than others. The best bits for me were the setting (Sofia’s house was pretty much across the street from where we stayed in Edinburgh and we spent a couple hours on Victoria street where the bookshop is and took pictures in the Grassmarket so I was vividly picturing it all and I now have a dream to return to Edinburgh at Christmas time some day), the bookshop and the community it brought, and the sister relationship. The romantic bits were ok. The POV was a bit odd. Like a strange version of 3rd person omniscient and the sudden glimpses into others thoughts when it was mostly just Carmen’s thoughts sometimes broke me out from the moment. But I still got lost in this world and I’d definitely read more from her. I’m also now on a mission to find more books set in Edinburgh!
