- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing. This review is my own.
Even though I firmly believe friends shouldn’t go into business together. These 4 best friends Celeste, Leslie, Toni and Yasmeen decides to open a book shop. Immediately after creating their plan, one by one, each friend’s life started to take a turn for the worst. Throughout their troubles, they supported each other 100%.
I started off really excited with each of their stories. About half way through I stated to feel like some parts of the storylines were just too much for me or not enough. Like the overuse of book titles and authors - it’s great that they showed their love for books but it was a little overboard each time 10+ authors and books were mentioned in one paragraph so I got lost. The ending also felt rushed and I didn’t feel like I got a closure with each of their stories.
I would rate this a 3.5/5
