Thank you HQ Digital and Netgalley for a free copy of this book for an honest review.
I really loved reading this book. It really tugged at my heartstrings to say the least and I was so immersed into the story that I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish reading it.
Hallie has just been fired from her job as a waitress in a restaurant and has been unlucky with holding on to a job. By a stroke of luck, she receives a message telling her she has won the ownership of her favorite bookshop, ‘Once Upon A Page’. The owner of the bookshop, Robert is ready to retire and has decided to follow the tradition of passing the shop on to a book lover instead of selling it. While Hallie is excited to have landed the job of her dreams, she is worried if she will be able to keep the business running. On her first day, Dimitri a handsome bloke comes along and she is instantly drawn to him. He turns out be be a huge help and together they discover that this shop is a haven of love stories of the past and some yet to happen.
Being a bookworm myself and a former bookshop owner, this book is as relatable as it can get. I understand how bookshops in this day and age struggle to keep their heads above water and how awful I felt when I had to close my store after 15 years. I loved all the characters except Drake. Thy were well thought out and perfectly placed. The story was well written and the protagonist was lovable. There were many parts that made me laugh out loud and Hallie’s mother featured alot in those instances. This was such a feel good romance that after I finished, I immediately went in search for more books by the author. and I am definitely going on a reading binge of her books.
‘The Little Bookshop of Love Stories’ is my definition of a perfect book for escapism (which is why I read) so If you love to escape in a good book anytime soon, this is your book. I highly recommend.
