The 3 stories made me emotional and made me wish I was working where they are working . And you get different tropes on every story and I loved that.

Decent audiobook collection of three linked novellas set among the staff of the Museum of Literature in New York City. As far as plotting, they're pretty good as novellas. They handle passage of time very well in a short form (and the third one has "It Happened One Night" energy, which was fun) but each story hinged on an absolutely unnecessary miscommunication trope and look, I'm getting a little tired of that one.

Perfect for any romance book lover. It’s has 3 super cute love stories that are based around the New York Museum of Literature and their employees. I listened to the audiobook so when it went to the second story the narrator was the same actress/voice. It did take me a moment to get used to that transition and that she was no longer Molly. I enjoyed all three heroines and their love interests. It was a funny, sweet and predictable rom-com.

This book is a crime, several crimes, against museums, against professional ethics, against good writing, against real relationships. I should have put it down the minute a museum professional picks up a rare book with white gloves.
