This book took way long for me to finish. I just had other books to read and kept forgetting. I rated it higher because of the last section. The feelings and thoughts when losing a pet is so real and true. I cried so much! I was thinking about the one time I had to be in that room and make that decision and close other times for another beloved pet so kept thinking of the end for my Peeta as well. All the feels! You know what is coming when you start this book but it still hits hard if you have a furry family member!

So... It was definitely entertaining but... It was like a combo of beauty and the beast meets Harry Potter meets Hercules or something like that where someone has to go through trials to prove something... I can see why ppl either just like this one or hate it. It wasn't boring though!

I like it, but it was not what I was expecting. I think the bookshop that is mentioned in the synopsis is more of a metaphor and theme for the story. It was the backdrop for the real story. But it was a cute little found family historical fiction. The plot gave Kate Morton vibes, but with less flowery language. Still a fun summer read.

Another beautiful family mystery story by Kate Morton! Love all of her books! The mystery seems so simple but so many pieces to the puzzle!

It was a fun and interesting read. I just wish it ended on a cliffhanger so I would want to read the next one more.
