Wow!! Heidi Swain has done it again. First got into her books through reading That Festive Feeling and immediately added The Book Lovers Retreat to my tbr. An absolutely stunning read demonstrating the power of reading and the bookish community. Emotional points contrasting with bits which kept you guessing were the perfect combination. Wonderful

Didn’t like the main character at at all but I think it’s because we were shown her flaws and she wasn’t perfect
She was rude and sad and mean and guilty and loved and happy v complicated chsracterd
