𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
• Ryan reading smut to the parrot
• The unknown texting of each other & their big identity reveal
• The Map Room date at the library
• I loved how Ryan supported Josie’s personal growth journey
• The bookstore proposal
• The Book Sluts book club/side characters
• Ryan’s grand gesture!
• You've Got Mail vibes
• The Epilogue was fantastic!!!
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: I am obsessed with this book! I truly adore most “bookish” books. I especially enjoyed the reversal of typical genre/gender roles in this one. The owner of the shops REALLY irked me with the competition and the lying! It was so nice to see them work together for the future of the store. This was such a fun, quick read and a what FANTASTIC book cover!
