A review by book_worm_91
The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
3.0
I will start by saying this isn't a book I would pick. It was a book club choice so my review might seem harsh, but that's because it's not my kind of book.
I loved the history of the library, and the librarians, and it was really fascinating. The characters were great and very human, you could imagine people like that, both good and bad!
But the romance. For me, it got in the way of the story. I wasn't interested in that side of things. The book could have just followed the ladies and the library and I would have loved it. I did pull a face when I saw the book because I knew I was in for a romance, which I don't like. But if you like romance then I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
