![]() It is so one sided and inflammatory and caustic that it is not fun to read. It’s written in format that of letters, texts, emails. ![]() Not all earns their stars which is disappointing, but this one truly failed to entertain or engage. ![]() Once again, I’m lured in by the title that contains the word bookseller (or bookstore or library, etc.). That said, this might simply be my being the wrong reader for this novel. Further, none of the anecdotes Fawn found herself in were all that amusing (to be frank, I honestly couldn’t believe she was running her own business) and I kept thinking that had this book been told in a different format, the storyline might have flowed a bit better and I might have enjoyed it more.įor me, in the end, there was just something missing. ![]() Told through a series of emails, letters, blog posts and tweets, also known as epistolary novel, this way of storytelling unfortunately made it hard to like and/or connect with any of the characters in "Confessions of a Curios Bookseller." Fawn came across as delusional, rude, and self-involved which made it hard for me to enjoy the story as I typically have to like the characters I’m reading about in order to like a novel. Though Fawn has always made the best of things, her situation goes from bad to worse when a hip independent bookstore opens up down the block, creating competition where there once was none. Thank you to Goodreads Giveaway and Lake Union Publishing for providing me with a copy of this novel.įawn is the owner of a struggling bookstore in Philadelphia. ![]()
