slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
2.5
It is written in a very romantic and poetic way. There are many characters throughout the story which I had a challenging time remembering them initially. It was hard for me to want to read the book as I wanted to cut through the descriptive dialogue and get to what actually happened. Since it's so descriptive, not much actually happens.

I found this to be a nice cozy read and a perfect palate cleanser after having just read a rather beefy novel. A little village starts up a mobile library. What’s not to like? It’s funny, heartfelt, and the characters were quite lovable, even with their flaws. There are also a lot of quotes throughout that are absolute bangers. I could post them here but then you’d be missing out on the experience and we can’t have that.
Full disclosure: half of my book club found it boring and thought the narration was too confusing

i had high hopes for this book but sadly it’s not making me want to know more about the world or the characters
