A sweet read, I liked the characters and the town, especially once Maya appears. Books about book stores have an advantage with me, l am so happy in them. Books that reference other books are often favorites, as well. I really enjoyed it.
Such a lovely little book! I really enjoyed every moment of this novel! Especially relevant for book lovers! I think this is a novel that has something for everyone! I can't recommend it highly enough!

A refreshing gem of a book.
This was a nice, predictable, somewhat sappy little novel about a curmudgeonly book seller whose outlook on life takes a sharp turn after adopting a child abandoned in his store.

This is a sweet book about the life of a lovely bookish nerd. As is the case with most nerds he has nerdy friends and family, and then those he converts.

Absolutely loves this book. Wonderful characters and great storytelling. I wish there was a bookstore like this in the present.
Loved this book!
This book was a bit of a disappointment after reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by the same author. This one didn’t have characters I really loved. It felt like the story was rushed and not enough attention paid to making the reader feel invested in the lives of the characters.
This was lovely.
