Small town and grumpy versus sunshine romance

The first couple of chapters were really fun, funny situations during a book-event, cosy situations in Quinn’s bookshop Kings and Queens. But after a while the book dreaded on me, the situations were not so fun anymore and I found Quinn very annoying. He sometimes felt like a little child, ignoring important stuff, and not thinking about the consequences and always feeling that he was the victim. Get your act together and grow up I thought quite often.

The story about Noah was different, a successful author coping with his fears. But why did you take your boyfriend with you man? The chemistry between Quinn and Noah was not really existent.

Ivy and Daniel were both likeable characters, although Ivy sometimes seemed like a battery-operated bunny with all she did. Hermione, being Noah’s mother, took up a lot of room and her story was put down very nicely.

The story became better with the last couple of chapters and the two epilogues, although I did not see the explicit scene coming and found it not really fitting seeing that there had only been a kiss here and there.
All in all the most fun was that I learned that the village Hay-on-Wye really exists and that it really is a town full of bookshops.
