A book lovers dream book! A story about a used bookshop and it's unusual cast of characters. I love Loveday Cardew. She's a lovely blend of quirky and charm. A protagonist that is deep, intelligent, marches to her own (tattoos and piercings included!) and just this side of different that you wonder what she'll say or do next. Add to the story a wonderful, quirky in his own right, bookshop owner (Archie) and an intriguing poet/magician (Nathan Avebury. Fabulous "day" job, BTW) and you get a hard to put down story that draws you in, and won't let go.

This book was a beautiful blend of fun and sadness. It was so much more than a "cozy" or chick lit.

I admit that I had a difficult time putting it down and when I finished it, was sad that it ended. It was that good.

*I would like to thank the author/publisher/Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review*
