I enjoyed the overall story. It was an interesting twist to have the bookstore owner who isn't really a fan of reading (she inherits the store) and her relationship with a romance author.  I did find the FMC a bit unlikeable for the early part of the book, although I did like her internal monologue.  There is a lot of page devoted to Drew's grief for her Grandmother and how that dictated her actions over the year following her Grandmother's death. I didn't find this unrealistic because their relationship was really important to Drew, but it's good to know going into it.
