This book is perfect for anyone who loves reading, especially fans of literary fiction and romance novels, as it beautifully represents both genres. As a book lover myself, I adored so much about this story. The dual POVs—one from someone who loves romance books and the other from someone who prefers literary fiction—added depth and variety to the narrative.

I also appreciated the message that people have diverse tastes in books and that we shouldn’t judge others for their preferences. What you might not enjoy could be someone else’s treasured gem.

The book's focus on two different indie bookstores was a delightful highlight. It gave an intimate glimpse into the world of independent bookstores, and as a reader, it was fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes. The frequent references to quotes from books and mentions of authors' names made me feel giddy with recognition—it’s always a joy to see familiar names celebrated in a story.

While I truly enjoyed the book, I did feel a bit frustrated with the FMC’s initial behavior and the miscommunication between the main characters. However, this didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment, as the story itself was heartwarming and a treat for book lovers. If you love reading, this is definitely a book you should try!
