The Shelf by Helly Acton
3.25
hopeful lighthearted relaxing fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

High-concept in a contemporary sort of way. Fun and fast-paced. Felt a bit too ... on the nose, at times, I guess? And like things were being done to path the way for the MC. Still, it was a relaxing read, and I like it when contemporary doesn't have romance at the centre. A re-read from a book I read in 2021.
