When you find yourself intrigued by a blurb - especially when the blurb has diverse characters banding together to save the bookstore where they all work; which has been their saving grace for so long is now on the verge of closing down!

It took me a while to get into the story; with multiple POVs, it took a while for me start banding together how the individual characters seem to work - they have their own didn’t in the personalities; though it has a diverse set of characters, the focus seemed to be more on the female characters than anyone else.

In This Is All Your Fault, we have a reformed ex con teenager, an Instagram poet with penchant for disparaging comments, a book tuber with the “perfect” personality, in love with a tortured musician working in the bookstore with her, a young woman struggling with her mental issues - all of whom come together, despite their misconceptions and judgments about each other to save the one place they have found solace in!

While there are multitude of characters; most of the attention is focused on the three diverse and strong female protagonists, each with their own struggles and vices - Rinn, Imogen and Daniela!


Inspite of working together in the bookstore, for such a long time, none of the protagonists ever made effort to understand and even take the time to have a pleasant conversation with each other; but it was a wonderful journey that to see them band together to save the one place that binds them together!

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT by Aminah Mae Safi - is a wonderful celebration of book community and how a bookstore, a place of solace for them, bring them together - passionate personalities, misconstrued judgements, and brilliant and on point mental health representation + Biracial representation - this was a wonderful, feel good feel that took me back to the nostalgic times of the feeling of browsing a bookstore, the peace that gave me that.

This beautiful contemporary YA novel is a celebration of all things we bookworms love ♥️
