3.5 stars. It’s always a bit scary heading into the final book of a beloved series. Will things wrap up satisfactorily? Will my favorite characters die? Will I be able to read it again and still love it? Ideally you want it to be the best book in the series, but just not ruining the series will usually suffice.

Her story of a little English town and its bookshop was exactly the thing I needed. The story centers on Emilia who comes home to her ailing father to be […]
