If you read and loved this book please don't take any of my review personally. Remember I am just one person out of millions who will read this book. 

I love books about books. Who doesn't right?? I thought, based on  the synopsis, The Reading List would help Mukesh with his relationship with his granddaughter after the grandmother passed away. While that was a part of the story that wasn't the main part.  I also thought the description of Mukesh's life was inaccurate in the synopsis. 

Aleisha has a rough home life taking care of her mother with the help of her brother Aiden. There was a lot to unpack with this family dynamic that could have been it's own storyline. 

So when you add both of the MC's storylines together it was A LOT to unpack in the book. It could have been a longer book but in that case I definitely wouldn't have picked it up. 

Then there were other characters I completely forget their names and honestly I have no clue how they fit into the story which is incredibly frustrating. 
 

This was one of the library books I borrowed before they closed for renovations. The book was dragging on I switched to the audio version to see if I would enjoy the content. In my opinion (which take it with a grain of salt) wasn't better than the print version. 

Again, PLEASE remember that one persons least loved book is someone else's holy grail book they will read until it falls apart.  

On my Scale of Buy, Borrow, Bargain, Bud or Bust I have to rate this one bust :(. 

Thank you to for buddy reading this with me! I know our next buddy read will be better!
