Battle of the Bookstores
by Ali Brady
REVIEW POSTED ONLINE: SEP 01, 2025
Josie and Ryan are two booksellers competing for the position of manager when their bookstores are combined. The loser is out of a job. Will their differences drive them apart or be the reason they open themselves up to more.

REVIEW
What I Liked:
Any book lover is going to enjoy the multitude of literary references. I absolutely loved that the MMC, Ryan, is the manager of the romance genre fan and he had to convince Josie of their merits. His backstory of how he fell in the love with the genre is super cute.
Fair Warning:
With the anonymous messaging that occurs between the main characters, there are definite You've Got Mail similarities.
Overall:
Check this out if you're a booker lover and enjoy rivals lovers like The Hating Game and see how many of the references you pick up.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
Heat Index: 🔥🔥🔥 (3/5)
