pontiki 's review for:
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill
by Abbi Waxman
Nina loves her life of books. Working at a bookstore, running book clubs there, attending several for herself, and being on a trivia team to use all she’s learned.
When her father, whom she never met, dies, she finds out she’s one of many, with siblings and nephews and nieces. For an introvert with anxiety, it’s a lot.
But as she meets a few, one by one, she sees common behaviours, interests, and even mannerisms, between her and them. Meanwhile, she starts seeing Tom, a trivia rival, a non reader(?!), but interesting and quick witted.
Things come together, fall apart, and are repaired at the end, with lots of laughs and serious moments along the way.
I love Peter best, and Nina and Tom have great conversations too. I don’t like her Mom, who seems too cold and selfish, but with her found family, she gains a lot of what she never had before.
Excelllent read.
