Without question, Fawn Birchill knows that her used bookstore is the heart of West Philadelphia, a cornerstone of culture for a community that, for the past twenty years, has found the quirkiness absolutely charming. When an amicable young indie bookseller invades her block, Fawn is convinced that his cushy couches, impressive selection, coffee bar, and knowledgeable staff are a neighborhood blight. Misguided yet blindly resilient, Fawn readies for battle.
This was recently featured in my work book club. I wouldn’t have usually picked this up myself, (I usually prefer thrillers/horror/etc) but it ended up being such a fun book! I love the writing style and it was a breeze to read, even for someone who gets distracted very easily. Kinda wish it was longer, even though it’s already a pretty large book. 😂
