I liked this a lot. I also think I liked it more than Must Love Books. I liked Maggie and her personality, Malcom and Vernon were so good, and I liked the rest of the townspeople. I liked the ideas of the events Maggie planned. Super fun :)

Very cute read! I enjoyed reading a story about a unique bookshop, quirky book events and the people who attend them. This book gives romance, "unexpected" friendships, some snooping to uncover secrets, finding oneself and laughs throughout. I like that it had layers to it and not just a sappy romance. I definitely plan to read other books by Shauna Robinson. This one kept me entertained.

This book is so adorable. The flow of writing is so perfect, I love the setting of this small town. This book has me giggling and kicking my legs the whole time I was reading this. I went ahead and bought this author other two books. Absolute 5 star. A perfect lighthearted read.

I almost DNF’d this book in the first 20% because not much happened up to that point. Then the plot kicked in. Overall, the main character kinda of does bad things but then gets lucky every time and things keep working out for her.
