A review by nkmeyers
The Lost and Found Bookshop by Susan Wiggs

2.0

This romance novel set in San Francisco demands more credulity than I could muster, especially when the characters find street parking "right in front" more than once! The book hits a handful of tourist spots and digs into local history, but the setting feels like a hastily sketched pastiche of the city by the bay that I know and love. Nevertheless, the story lines tackles several contemporary themes of interest, including: biracial love, children of divorce, addiction, and aging in place with a sensitivity and sense of humor that elevates the book beyond straight up romance. It's no home run, but If you enjoy romance and bookstores, this story of loss and love will get you to second base!
