If you're looking for a cozy read where everyone gets a happily ever after, then this is the book for you. The stakes within it are low, and everyone gets what they set out for. I love the idea of a bookstore being the heart and soul of a community. The concept alone gives me the warm fuzzies.
However...
I'm not a fan of the fact that every single main character ends up with another main character; it comes across as forced and unnecessary. I don't like the idea that happy ending = everyone ends up in a hetero marriage. I liked the first 75% of the book a lot more than the last 25%. It's not a bad book; it just has a sloppy, rushed end.

Books about book related things will always be a must read for a bookworm. This story was a quick and sweet read for me. I enjoyed it while I was reading it, but can't say it has stuck with me. There are definitely parts I wanted more from. More insight, more development, more detail. Overall, I enjoyed it and think other bookworms would as well.
