"All books are magic. An object that can take you to another world without even leaving your room? A story written by a stranger and yet it seems they wrote it just for you or to you? Loving and hating people made out of ink and paper, not flesh and blood? Yes, books are magic. Maybe even the strongest magic there is."
This book is not my normal style but I enjoyed it none the less. At times it's a little silly/cheesy but overall I found myself smiling instead of rolling my eyes at that. It is an enjoyable cozy read with some darkness sprinkled in. A trigger warning about child abuse and loss of parent to suicide would be beneficial for some I believe. Closed door male male romance was very sweet and enjoyable. Likeable characters that could have a little more depth to get closer to 5 stars. I did the audiobook and struggle a little with many female narrators (especially voicing multiple male main characters) this one included so may have liked the physical book even more. Overall though this was a fun enjoyable read.
