danadoesbooks 's review for:

funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

Thank you to the publisher, NetGalley, and the author for a gifted copy of this book.  All opinions in this review are my own.

I loved the concept of this book and the first half.  I would definitely spend my vacation running a bookshop!  However, the second half fell flat for me.  The reason Elliot was being so shifty was surprisingly dark and it felt like it didn't fit with the rest of the story.  Overall, I love the concept, but the execution wasn't for me.
