Writing books about book lovers, for book lovers is a particular kind of challenge. It's so personal, and therefore, these books tend to be judged against a highly subjective standard. Reay, however, has been down this road before, and does a fine job weaving together a tale of three women in small Chicago suburb all on different paths in life, but united by a common bookshop. Alternating between three points of view, two of the perspectives are first person limited while the third is third person limited. It was jarring to me at first, but there is a reason for this that is actually explained in the text (for those who are picky about those kinds of things, you have been warned!) I enjoyed getting to know these women, though at times I wish the pace would have picked up or that a few secrets characters were keeping were revealed to the reader sooner because I had predicted them long before.
