There were elements of this book that I loved: business owner in her 30s, bookstore, feisty grandma. Then there were some that I most decidedly did not, including an obvious plot device that took until the last quarter of the book for Zora to figure out, and that ended too easily and abruptly. I really wanted to like this one though.
