so much to love here, and yet so overly dramatic. Have to think further on this one.
I wanted to love this book. The cover is enticing, the story takes place almost entirely in a bookstore, and there's a book convention. It's about books!
It’s adorable, sad, sweet and pulls at all your heart strings. It can also make you wonder, what in the world is going on here?
Some aspects seemed unrealistic. [ It was hard to believe that someone who is extremely guarded would trust another completely, in just a few days, particularly when it was known that she wasn’t going to be sticking around long. Things worked out way too well, too quickly. (hide spoiler)]
There were moments, well many moments, when the writing felt overly dramatic and overdone. It’s an imaginative book, there’s a lot to like. But I did have a hard time with the writing style, and some aspects I found hard to believe.
I so wanted to love this book, but it fell short for me.
Thanks to St. Martin's Press/Wednesday books and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
