The Lost for Words Bookshop by Stephanie Butland

New Author

Once Upon a Book Club - June 2018

A little mystery, a little romance, a little statement on domestic violence and the foster system.  Little enough that the book really didn't grab me fully. English which is often a drier read with words and places unfamiliar to me.

I enjoyed meeting the characters; the endearing Archie and the troubled Loveday, but I didn't get attached to them.

Not a bad read, just not an overly remarkable one.

Quotes:  "Idiot that I was, I liked that he liked me.  I should have known better.  In retrospect, I think that maybe he didn't like me much beyond the fact that I was talking to him about him and what he was interested in."
