I listened to this during a long car ride, so got it done in one sitting. It kept me focused on the story the whole time and I was eager to finish it.
This book felt like a hug. It read like a love letter to books and all that they stand for.
Was it cheesy and feel-good-y? Sure. Was it maybe a tad predictable with some stereotypical characters? Yeah. Did I love it anyway? Of course!
I could see this book not working for everyone, but it worked for me, and I'm glad I finally read it. Definitely recommend the audiobook!
