Bokhandeln på Riverside Drive by Frida Skybäck
5.0
I have just one word, wow. Wow, wow, wow. This awesome feel good novel took me with force, and let me do my best and explain why to you.
The story is about Charlotte Rydberg, a swedish woman who suddenly becomes the owner of a very old house with an appurtenant bookstore. She travels to London with the intention of selling the house, but when she arrives she immediately gets a feeling of home. She quickly gets familiar with the staff while battling her own sorrows, and after a while she starts to question it all. Throughout the book, you get to follow Charlotte in her discoveries and choices she makes along the way. The description of both the characters and the surroundings was impeccable, and I now find myself dreaming of owning an old style bookstore. I'm completely in love.
This was the first book I read after deciding to broaden my horizons a bit and not only read crime and thriller books, and I am not disappointed. I have a few more feel good books in my shelves, and am now torn between what to read next. I also have another book by Frida Skybäck, and let me tell you this book gave me really high hopes. While reading this, I definitely lost track of time more than once and I always wanted to know what would happen next. I was a bit torn if i should give it 4 stars or 5, but I decided that 5 was the right choice after all. If you have the chance to read this book, I really couldn't recommend it enough.
