bookbeforeuleap 's review for:

The Book Ninja by Michelle Kalus, Ali Berg
3.0

This is the story of a failed writer who is convinced by her best friend and bookshop owner to try and find love by leaving copies of her favourite books with her phone number in on trains.

The premises is adorable and I had high hopes going in. While some parts really did make me laugh the majority just irritated me. I thought the main character was unbelievably selfish and I just couldn't get past that as it made it unbelievable that she would have the friendships she had.

I did enjoy the use of the different books and the mix media of blog posts and emails.
