What a fantastic little story this was. It all started with the theft of a priceless first edition from A.J. Fikry's bookshop, which creates a chain of events that change his life forever. Charming and great for book lovers. My only complaint is that it could be a bit longer. Some parts went too quickly for my taste.

I absolutely loved this. Just a wonderfully cute and heartfelt story. I was in tears for the whole second half.

Okay

Cute story. The book was free through Amazon Prime, and it was okay overall. I liked the characters, but something was missing.

Not perfect, but a heartwarming beach-type read.

The words you can’t find, you borrow.

We read to know we’re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone. We are not alone.

My life is in these books, he wants to tell her. Read these and know my heart.

We are not quite novels.

The analogy he is looking for is almost there.

We are not quite short stories. At this point, his life is seeming closest to that.

In the end, we are collected works.



Unreal.
