This was a quick sweet read. My only complaint is that I wish it were a full novel because it’s just cozy.

What a beautifully written and wonderful short story about two sisters and a bookstore. It deals with love, family, grief, forgiveness, healing and remembering what is truly important in life. Such a powerful and heartfelt story and I absolutely LOVED it!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good short story about two sisters who need each other but won’t ask. Each of them is suffering, with little family to lean on. Their daughter/niece brings them together and they reconnect. Heartwarming, quick read!

Short and to the point so you always feel the store lacks character development etc. But for a cute little story while I did some chores, it served its purpose.

A beautiful short story that I wish were a long story. I would love more time with this setting and these characters.
