I loved this book so much, I loved the messages that it brought across and how cosy it made me feel.
The connectedness of each character to another is wonderful, I like how they are tied together by the library. It reminds me to always use your local library, hobbies can be anything that you fancy.
This book really helped me, I found it difficult on some days whilst I was working to find my passion and hobbies but this book reminded me that even if I work 5 days a week. I can still have dreams and aspirations, but that it isn't just the money. I can have a life outside my working day.

A great easy read. I loved how it was fiction without losing touch with reality. The stories about the women resonated with me more, but overall I thought each character’s story was meaningful.

It makes you feel cozy on the insides. While the language and phrasing can feel awkward at some points, and certain revelations of the characters feel like an easy cop out by the author to reach a resolution, I love the perspectives the book offers for ordinary characters at various life stages we all experience. The mundane struggles that don’t get talked about often. It uplifts the child in all of us, and is an encouraging read to anyone who feels they’re stuck in a rut alone.
