 This book was about the character. There were no men, no romance for almost half the book. Hurray! It focused on HER, what she wanted, her struggles, her triumphs.
I loved all the book stuff, I loved all the Scotland stuff. I am a little devastated that a lot of the books described in the story aren't real!
The romance stuff was nice-it wasn't over the top. But it did kind of take over the meat of the story about her and the book van, which disappointed me.
