I’ve had this one on my tbr for a while now and I’m glad I finally picked it up! I decided to listen to the audio of this one and the narration was fab! The narrator wasn’t Scottish, like the author, but he did have a great voice for narration and did a great Scottish impression at points during the story!
I loved hearing more about the insights of owning your own bookshop, I mean isn’t that always a dream of ours? But it turns out it’s harder than it looks! Especially if you go for a second hand book shop too, there’s so much to it, but it’s the effort and dedication you see in this book that makes it such a fantastic place.
I absolutely loved Nicky, Nicky cracked me up and was thoroughly entertaining, their relationship was unlike others and I loved that. I loved hearing about the regular customers he had and how he got to know them, even if they didn’t say too much to each other about anything other than books. I also liked seeing into Shaun’s private life a bit too, although I’ll obviously disagree with his opinions on Disney and musicals 😂
A good book for book and bookshop lovers, if I ever get to Wigtown, I will definitely be paying it a visit ❤️
