A review by adrienneambo
The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler

3.0

Listened to this debut in the audio format. The narrator brought Esme Garland to life, so much so that I wanted to strangle some sense into her!!! On a PhD fellowship to Columbia for art history, Esme becomes involved with upper crust New Yorker, Mitchell van Leuven. Not all that glitters is gold and Esme discovers after becoming pregnant that Mitchell is not what he seems. Needing extra funds, Esme takes a position at the Owl, a small independent bookstore. I really enjoyed the story and thought the characters were well rounded, but at times a little pompous for my liking.
