This was cute and soothing. Didn't turn out exactly like I expected, which is nice. It's still a happy ending thankfully.

This is such a sweet book! It's so pure and heartfelt - a love letter to libraries. I just want to give this book a hug.

What a gem of a book! I can’t believe I never hear anyone talking about it, it’s so lovely and well-written that I had to force myself not to listen in one sitting so that I could savor it.
If you love books about books, small towns, lovable characters, and fighting for a good cause, this book is for you. These are some of my favorite characters I’ve read about all year.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No

The ending is sooo good. Was a little slow until the middle, but overall a really good lighthearted read.

If libraries hold a special place in your heart, then this is a book for you. It highlights the importance of having libraries in our communities, and that they provide more than just the obvious (books). Also, you will cry and/or tear up a few times, so have tissues handy.

Cute and heartwarming. But, I wasn't a big fan of the characters and everything was very cheesy. It also started super slow.

This is a good book. I enjoyed it. It’s what I would call “quiet fiction”. I don’t know if that’s a thing or not. It follows a bit of time in the quiet life of a woman and is centered around the library and the patrons who go there. It focuses on the value of libraries in communities. It’s really a love letter to libraries told through the life of a small village and an introverted gal.
