Review of 'How to find love in a bookshop' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I found this book on a street; it was a perfect read for a stressful couple of weeks. The book paints a very cozy world one can easily escape to. Everything in the tale revolves around books. That hit the right note with this avid reader. The writing style is very refined; the author paints very vivid imagery with words. I felt that the ending was a tad cheesy and a little rushed. The story reminds me of the good cozy Hallmark movie, where the world is depicted as a more fair and hospitable place to be. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It's a good book for a temporary escape.
