jazzy_daveAnnie Darling "The Little Bookshop Of Lonely Hearts" (Harper Collins)
This is one of those books my brother gave me in one of his clearance endeavours. He can do that again. Also, this is not the type of book i would normally not read,,as romance novels per se are not my forte, despite it being about a bookshop called Bookends. Anyway, i took the plunge and emerged pleasantly surprised.
I have to be honest though, in the beginning I wasn't sure if I liked either Posy or Sebastian, she definitely didn't sound like the kind of person who should be left in charge of a bookshop never mind be bequeathed one and then be expected to make it flourish. And right from the very beginning I got the impression that Sebastian is supposed to be her love interest, but he was so rude that I honestly didn't think I could read this book if he was her love interest. Thankfully, as the story progressed we see a slightly softer side to Sebastian, he offers to help Posy and to begin with we don't understand the reasoning behind it but it all becomes clear.
I loved the banter back and fro between Posy and Sebastian, as well as all the other quirky characters such as Nina and Verity.
Bookends is the kind of place that I would love to work! A small business, where you can make close friends in work colleagues, while doing a job you feel passionate about!
And for each and every sad moment within this story, there were happy moments. Happy moments that made you smile without thinking about it. And you cant really ask for more than that.
A good easy to read novel.
