I love a good enemies to lovers story, books & bakeries - so I was very excited for this one! In the long run I would say the story is more of a grump and sunshine trope, but equally as fun to read. 

I found The Boy With the Bookstore to be a quick, easy read. I really liked that I did not have to wait a long time for the romance side of the book to start (which can sometimes be an issue). The one thing I had an issue was Max's attitude/reactions to things. He was quite rude on multiple occasions and it rubbed me the wrong way. Other than that I really enjoyed the book and would recommend.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review The Boy With the Bookstore and give my honest review.
