paigereitz 's review for:

The Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan
3.5
emotional funny lighthearted mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a cute fun read.  The editing job was a bit shoddy (multiple times, the wrong character was named in a passage - I counted at least 3 times) and Robert Galbraith was a chosen name-drop - in 2019 - which I disliked. But it was cute and fluffy and fun. And it touched on mental health in a way that was, while not expertly done, passably done.
