sierrajp 's review for:

The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan
5.0

I thought this book was very charming and, quite frankly, made me want to visit Scotland. It was a good story of introverted Nina making a rather huge life change after losing a job she loved. She has a gift of matching people with books and does so from her bookstore in a van. I actually researched this after reading this book, and other people have adapted using vehicles as moving bookstores. I think it's adorable! It took me a little while to warm up to the Nina/Lennox romance though as they didn't seem quote compatible, but it begins to make more sense the more you observe their relationship. Everything happens rather quickly between them, but I think that is in part of them knowing what they do not want in a relationship (Lennox from his ex wife and Nina from her (unbeknownst to her) affair with a married man). I read the physical copy of the book, but I have heard good things about the audio book.
