Thanks to NetGalley, the publishing company and or the author for giving me the chance to read and review The Lost Bookshop.

Love everything from the characters to the plot.

2.5 stars.

Hear me out - absolutely LOVE the concept of this story, however the details and the storyline felt jumbled to me majority of the time. The 2 different timelines felt super confusing to keep up with, as so much was happening.

I loved the mix of historical fiction & magical realism. It’s a super special book in that way. It felt like a warm hug , but sadly I give it a 2.5 stars because I did get confused and it felt like there were a lot of plot holes (unless it just went over my head which definitely could be the case).I also was super distracted while reading this. At times I was laser focused and the other times it was not holding my attention. The last 20% of the book was my favorite part of it all!

All in all, I’m still glad I read it and I’m looking forward to reading the second book in this series!
