This one took me a good while to finish. Although I'm pretty sure I'm not the intended target audience, I ultimately found The Lost Bookshop to be rather charming. The book shines most when it leans into the love and mystery of books, and the unique hold they have on readers. There were enough twists and mostly compelling characters to keep me reading through to the end.
That said, I did struggle with the abundance of romantic tropes scattered throughout, and a few characters felt underdeveloped. Still, the core story was pleasant enough.
