"People call me eccentric, but then I call them boring so it's all relative."
Quick Synopsis: A mysterious and secret bookshop is hidden on the streets of Dublin, waiting to be found. We have three main characters: Opaline, Martha, and Henry. Opaline's story transports us back to the 1920s and Martha and Henry keep us grounded in the present day. All three of them are connected, but only in due time, will the magic bookshop reveal a new world they could have never imagined.

3 Things I Loved:
- "The Lost Bookshop" is a little bit of historical mystery, fantasy, and romance - overall, a great combination of tropes for those seeking an interesting read
- All the literary references! I am a sucker for books about books, but this one delivers on another level - tons of beautiful quotable material
- The storytelling organization was supreme. I loved the POVs of all three characters and it felt very "even" to me, as the POV shifted consistently with each chapter
