louuux 's review for:
The Lost Bookshop
by Evie Woods
My biggest wish for this book is that it focused on one main character to follow with this plot line. It all felt too much to follow, to here, there, and everywhere. I also really could not get into the rapidly switching situations, one minute a genuinely huge issue would arise, the next minute it’s solved and onto the next.
** Spoilers from here on **
The brother being the dad, the missing Mrs Bowden without real outlining who she was (I may just be missing it but it didn’t click) , the asylum, the DV, the convenient death, the overseas fiance, paris, the war it all was just smushed into such a small book that it just fell flat for me. It’s as if I can see what the author was trying to achieve but it just felt rushed.
The writing itself, really good I actually enjoyed the tone of voice in which the author writes but the plot and characters were just not delivered or developed enough for me to enjoy the this book.
A fair attempt, but fell flat.
