I thought this SNL-inspired rom com was very cute! It's broken into two sections. The first focuses on our two main characters meeting during a week prepping for an SNL type sketch show. The second is a few years later during covid where they reconnect as email pen pals.

While the main character's lack of self confidence did get a little repetitive, it was also very understandable and, for me, relatable.

There were a couple of brief open door scenes that are easily skipped.

This was pretty fun. I picked it up purely because I work at a library and someone had this on hold. I found the title delightful, because when I was trained I had to watch a video called Murders in the Stacks. A very cheesy, Sherlock Holmes inspired video. So I just had to try this one.

It was a fun cozy mystery. I adore the library settings and references. And a fun coincidence? They mentioned a lesser-known Dr. Seuss book mere minutes before I pulled the very same book for the hold list. What? That's crazy.

Anyway, I may check out other books in this library based cozy series. They seem like they might be fun.
