The Storied Life of AJ Fikry is one of the sweetest novels I’ve ever read, and I read a lot of books. It usually takes a little while for me to get drawn in but Zevin created characters from the very beginning that made me want to know more.
AJ is a widow, alone and drinking too much, running the bookshop he bought with his wife. Through a series of events, people come into his life to build a beautiful family and circle of friends.
This book made me feel so warm and fuzzy, and there were a few tears as well. Zevin created an amazing cast of truly rich characters in a short 250 pages. This book is a lot of magic in a small package. I will be recommending this to everyone.
