Printed Letter Bookshop is written a little differently than other books. For the most part it is focused on about 3 main characters--each chapter is labelled with a characters name who is the main focus. But at any time during the chapter it would randomly jump to another character. Sometimes even to a character not previously mentioned or in the spotlight. That did annoy me.

If the chapter title is Madeline, then I expect it to be Madeline as the main person. Not just half on Madeline and then jumping to someone else.

That being said, I thought the premise of the book was well done. I liked getting the feel for each character. And I'd LOVE a bookshop like that! <3

I really felt for Claire at her climatic moment. She was all about what being a mom and trying to "do it all" was all about. Especially having a 17 yearold of my own.

Joyce is definitely a favorite! <3

I'd give this one a definite 4 stars. I was engaged with it and I loved peeling the onion back on each character as the book continued. I look forward to reading book 2 in this series.
