City of Books: A Novel by Nicole Meier
4.5
inspiring medium-paced

What a feel good story (there are parts that are sad too though).

I liked the gumption of these employees and for taking a stand to try and keep a beloved bookstore from closing due to the health problems of the owner. I can't believe that they were able to lockdown in the store for a month!

Jo (the MC) is so passionate and you can really see her love for the bookstore and the owner, Mr. Bruebaker. I love how she takes charge, how she feels she's doing right and how she faces things when they get bad. 

This was just a special book and I'm so glad I got to read it.
