Goodnight June
by Sarah Jio
This book had a super sweet premise. Goodnight June tells a fictional origin story of Goodnight Moon, a story I loved as a child. I was looking for a quick, one day read and found it in this book. But it was a little too cheesy for me.
SUMMARY: June is a workaholic in New York, working a ruthless banking job where she shuts down small businesses who cannot make ends up. When June's great-aunt dies and leaves her bookstore for June to take over, June travels back home to Seattle. While her initial plan is to sell the bookstore, coming across letters between her great-aunt and the author of Goodnight Moon helps her reconnect with her love of books and realize that the bookstore holds a beautiful, secret history.
To be honest this book was like a Lifetime movie but for some parts, I was there for it. It was pretty predictable, but I wanted to see June's heartwarming growth.
My biggest problems were that it felt like a lot of June's problems were just miraculously fixed! On one hand it was sweet to see things work out and get that sense of hope, but on the other hand I was like, there's nooo way this is realistic! The romance felt a little too insta-love for me.
Overall, if you like a book where everything is tied together nicely with a bow in the end, this is for you. Lots of sweet moments about sisters, family, and children's lit
