A review by carlawilker
The Second Story Bookshop by Denise Hunter

hopeful lighthearted sad slow-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No

3.0

Grateful for the advance audio arc from Thomas Nelson and Zondervan Fiction Audio. I definitely think this book would be loved by readers who enjoy Hallmark type books. All conflicts were resolved with a happy ending right down to the bookstore employee, Hailey finding her passion working at the gallery. I liked Gray’s character more than Shelby. Although she had abandonment issues I still didn’t understand her totally cutting Gray out of her life when he joined the military. I listened to this at the beach and think it would make a wonderful easy listen/read.
