The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks is a fun women's fic about a woman who learns how to love books while building a community (and getting one over on her boss). The characters of the book are really loveable, including the town grump. And a lot of the fake stories they discussed I wish were real books. The book discusses literary snobs, reading for pleasure, and how different stories connect with different people. Overall, this is a fun found family story with a romantic subplot that isn't too heavy handed.
