My Review of this Book

Throughout this entire book, I really enjoyed the plot. Four star, though because it seems as they didn't get close enough AT ALL this, generally bothers me. They got close enough to feel the friction (the good kind) between each other, but yet, even at the end, they never really announced them getting together. It all just kinda pieced together, or just pressed together once the store closed. Once they started the competition, i loved her attitude, though. She was a cheerful person who was competitive, in love, and desired the money. I shipped them. Immediately. Why? Well, I really don't know. They just really seem good together. Before they started dating, he was in fact alittle annoying. Who works at a bookstore. But doesn't FrIkInG READ the books? Yes, you are there for the money, but why go into an environment in which you are around many of which you do not like. Her actions were so called for in the beginning. [She grabbed a speaker (you know the little microphone in the front of the store) and began to say into the mic: "Attention, Attention: New Employee doesn't read books" THIS WAS IN FACT CALLED FORRR. But this is a really good read. I love how she put in alittle bit of LGBTQ into the storyline, so sorry homophobes, but its a lesbian couple. So, to put aside the small angerment triggers about Jake, it is an amazing book to read.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5 Star
