General Description: When new bookseller Laura arrives at Roach's bookstore, Roach believes they will have a special connection. However, when Laura is not as receptive to Roach, Roach convinces herself that she can win over Laura by learning more about Laura's traumatic pass. Once Roach learns the truth and tries to connect with Laura over it, how will Laura react? Will they create an everlasting friendship, or will one of them not make it out alive?

The only part that made me rate it a 1.5 star:
- Listen, I was shocked at the end. I didn't see it coming. Got to respect the twist in my opinion.

The loss of the rest of the stars
- This was extremely slow. The title catches your eye but then nothing happens until the last maybe 20% of the book.
- The word "normie" was overused. I was annoyed.
- there was absolutely no one I was rooting for. We could have had the death of all the booksellers and I think I'd feel sad the bookstore had to close. 

Overall, I truly cannot think of one good person this book would be for. I am very confused about this entire book and having read some of the 5 star reviews, it's definitely a book for some folks, but I am truly not sure who for.
