A book about a library? Yes, please! An inspiring and hopeful story about a librarian and the community trying to save their library from being closed down. This book really showcased how important libraries are for all different people and their purpose to visit a library.
I must admit, throughout the majority of the story, I found it hard to connect with the main character, June. I really felt for her loss but only until halfway through the book did I start to warm to her character and enjoy reading about her growth. Also, there are a quirky, loveable group of secondary characters whom I really enjoyed learning about.
I loved all of the book references dotted throughout the novel. I might have to re-read through and make a list of all the books mentioned to pop them on my never-ending TBR!
