Books-about-books is my absolute favorite niche genre. I'll have to add it to my tbr list.

This sounds right up my alley and I hadn’t heard anything about it! Great review thank you! Congratulations on getting back in the pool! It’s such an amazing feeling when you get to get back to the exercise you enjoy!

Thanks! The pool was awesome, and it was even better today! I think because of the football game last night, a lot of people had hangovers and didn't show up 😅. There were only 6 of us in the pool compared to almost 30 last time. I hope you like The Bookshop Woman, too 📚💛✨️

I didn't like this book very much. I thought the writting was a bit disgruntled and the story stayed at the surface of what her experiences were like. Even when describing the people she met or how her own experiences of reading, going through a divorce, which can be pretty significant events, I feel the author could have explored those at a deeper level, and try to weave the stories together in a more harmonious way. Would love to know what other people thought of it

👍I hope other readers respond on seeing this. The experience I wished she could have explored with greater depth for us **SPOILER ALERT**... Getting that weird manuscript from one Perfect Strangers member depicting their time together very differently from her memory and then tagging more imagined future in to "their story" definitely one of those moments I was referring to where she did things quite differently - I think a lot of people would have been more cautious in their first meetings. I liked it as a quirky story with book recommendations and someone looking to challenge themselves, but agree it would have been better if she was less surface level about the most interesting parts of her experiment.
