A cozy book that feels written especially for book lovers. The pacing is great (if anything perhaps it is too fast at times) and the characters are very loveable. Zevin takes what sounds like a cheesy plot and transforms it into something genuine and unique. 3.5/5 ⭐️ because I didn’t love the ending and a couple of the minor plot points. Regardless I always found myself reaching for this and finished it quickly.
