The Little Bookshop of Lonely Hearts: A feel-good funny summer romance by Annie DarlingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The dithering Posy Morland inherits the bookshop where she has spent her working life, from the deceased owner, Lavinia. So far, so good. I like books about books, about bookshops, about people who work in or own bookshops. But when Posy has to join the real world and run her own business, under the watchful eye and interference from Lavinia's grandson, the infuriating Sebastian, she spends half her time bursting into tears and sitting around moping. It began to get irritating. At times I wanted to put this woman in a sack and give her a good shake - for heaven's sake just get on with it! It's not bad. It has an all too obvious ending, some of the dialogue grates and 'happy ever after' is a long time coming. I am relieved that it's over!
