5 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
"It's sweet, it's charming and it's funny." The Times "The romantic memoir of the year." Daily Mail A bookshop love story Jessica Fox is living in Hollywood, a 26-year-old filmmaker with a high-stress job at NASA. Working late one night, craving another life, she is seized by a moment of inspiration and taps secondhand bookshop Scotland into Google... The rollercoaster journey that ensues taking in Scottish Hanukkah, yoga on Galloways west coast, and a waxing that she will never forget will both break and mend her heart. It will also teach her that sometimes we must have the courage to travel the path less taken.

Meh!! This was easily one of the most boring books I‘ve ever read. Whatever you do: don‘t waste your time on this.

I don‘t really understand the purpose of this book. It doesn‘t strike me as story that needed to be told. I‘d have liked to hear way more about the bookstore and way less whining and crying about how “hard” everything was when really, this girl had it made.

#SeasonsReadings2016 Day 3 - Set in a library/bookstore

While I didn't love the story overall, the scenes set in the Scottish bookstore were quite charming

Tanner I agree - the bookstore scenes were great, but I rolled me eyes over the romance (and I don't mind romance usually). 8y
