The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George

9/16/2015

I was so looking forward to reading The Little Paris Bookshop but found it didn’t really live up to my expectations.  After reading the book description, I was expecting a story similar to The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, which I loved, but I didn't find The Little Paris Bookshop to my liking.  To me, The Little Paris Bookshop wasn’t so much a story about the love of books and how they have the ability to transform us, but was much more of a tragic love story and how that overshadowed many years of the main character's life.  I did not find the main character relatable and had much difficulty getting involved in the storyline.  The plot was very predictable and slow paced.   I did enjoy the concept of the Literary Apothecary and the small part of the book that highlighted the influence of literature on our lives, but there just wasn’t enough of that part to keep me interested. 

The Little Paris Bookshop is most likely one of those books that is either greatly loved or greatly disliked and unfortunately for me, I wasn’t one who greatly loved it. 

I received this book from Crown Publishing via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
