Soooo cute. I loved the book vibes, I loved the Scottish countryside vibes, I loved how chill this book was while also being full of characters with 0 chill. The characters are funny, the adventure Nina goes on & remains in is delightful, and I now wish my town had a book van.

The good: 
  • the nature writing is beautiful. It is descriptive and calming. I myself love nature descriptions in books and this book had some of the most beautiful ones. 
  • As a massive bookworm this book was very dreamy to me. I mean, every bookworm has dreamt of starting their own bookshop. I felt like I was vicariously living that dream through this book. 

The bad:
  • I found the romance in this book lacking in depth and honestly weird. The main character obsesses about guys in an almost creepy and objectifying way. I found myself wondering why Nina liked the guys she liked. She fell in love basically based on nothing and the romance would progress uncomfortably quickly. Going from zero to a hundred in like one chapter. I think this book would’ve been so much better without any romance. Or a single love interest with actual development. 
  • For a book about a bookshop, I personally would’ve liked more scenes set in the actual bookshop. 
  • The main character is seriously unlikable and self obsessed. She doesn’t think about the consequences of her actions or decides to simply ignore them. She just gave me the ick. I hoped I would relate to a book and nature loving main character, but I found myself annoyed by her pretty frequently.

Really lovely feel-good read about a woman, Nina, who goes from being laid-off librarian to traveling bookstore owner! It's every reader's dream! Wished it had more descriptions of Scotland and setting in general
