THE LOST BOOKSHOP by Evie Woods I was expecting to love this, but I did not. The premise of this story had so much potential, but the plot, characters and their actions just didn’t add up. Henry, a PHD student, did not know how to do a simple online search for Opaline - what?! Martha didn’t know how libraries worked?! Martha doesn’t love books/reading, but enrolls in college to be a literary critic?! Continuity of the time period was not there. Cellphones were mentioned at one point, but never used. They sent mail or left notes instead. Additionally, the love interests felt forced and awkward at best. I guess, if you ignore all of the above, this is a lightweight, cozy story for book lovers and readers. Good, but not great. YMMV. Rating: 3/5 ⭐️ **ARC courtesy of Netgalley & HarperCollins360.
