The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan

3.0

This book had a very cozy feel to it, and I enjoyed it for that. However, the plot was extremely slow, and the stakes felt way too mild for this to be engaging. The supporting characters did not really add to the plot at all, the main character was weakly written, and the conclusion was anticlimactic. I get the appeal of the rugged and grumpy Scotsman, but this played way too much into stereotypes and clichés. Overall, this was a gentle read, which is why I’m giving it a halfway decent rating, but don’t expect this to be any sort of literary challenge or heart-engaging material.
