Thank you to Netgalley for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This normally isn't the type of book I read, I requested it just because the premise sounded fantastic. Secret little bookshop and events? Hell yeah! And the book very much did not dissapoint. Filled with secrets, potential cults, and a wonderful sense of humour that kept me laughing all the way though!
The humour is a big main point of this book, Maggie is chaotic, unpredictable, and just a delight to read about. Chapter 1 is great at setting the tone of the rest of the book and showing Maggie's character!
This isn't much of a romance book, it's got a pretty adorable side straight romance where they're pushing each others' boundries and trying new things, but I wouldn't say it's a focal point. For me this was a bonus but if you're looking for a big romance this potentially might not be it (but try it anyway, if you like romance as a genre you'll most likely like this too!).
The Bookshop of Maggie Banks is a wonderfuly humorous, chaos-filled journey about finding your place in the world, learning to love something new and finding new friends along the way!
