The Book Boyfriend by Jeanna Louise Skinner
4.5
challenging emotional mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A lovely fun emotional read. The lead character is plus-sized and has a mental illness, and both of those aspects of her life are written with care and sensitivity. The story itself is great fun, with the dream boyfriend from the pages of a book literally coming to life. There's a good slice of real life mixed in with the fantasy. And a bookshop! And a cat. A really good read, I loved it.
