Itโ€™s about a young woman who, after going through a break up and quitting her job, moves in her uncleโ€™s bookstore. Itโ€™s not super dramatic or anything, but as the story goes on, we get to see how she grow and slowly fall in love with reading โ˜บ๏ธ

A slow but perfect read to help you get out of a reading slump :D

This is perfect for the current political climate. It's difficult to find joy amongst the chaos. I'll give this a try. Thanks for sharing!
