A review by petalstorm
The Bookshop of Forgotten Dreams by Emily Blaine
5.0
English translation of La librairie des rêves suspendus c. 2019
This was such a refreshingly quaint and beautiful story. I’ve read a ton of contemporary romances lately and, after a while, they all kind of blur together. This work felt different and somehow weightier than others.
Blaine’s book feels like a vacation in France, with a close knit (never tedious) cast of characters that you actually want to get to know.
I genuinely had no idea how it would end, but I was left with a huge smile on my face.
