Review of 'The storied life of A. J. Fikry' on 'Goodreads'
This is Reader Catnip. Protagonist lives in a bookstore. Chapters start with a note written to recommend a book. I loved that the characters were three dimensional. The ones I liked had flaws. The ones I didn't, had good qualities. And the characters do change and grow during the course of the book. Both heartfelt and very funny.
