What I Liked:
I like almost any story that is full of book lovers and The Last Bookshop in London fits that bill. I appreciated the fine balance the author found with providing enough detail to elicit an emotional response about the horrors of what it was like to be in London during WWII without being overly gory.
What Bothered Me:
This is more a problem with my library app than the book itself, but The Last Bookshop in London was included in a search I did under the Romance genre. While there are romance threads, it should be firmly considered a historical fiction, because there are only a couple of scenes with Grace’s love interest.
Overall:
If you are interested in WWII and enjoy historical fiction, I would easily recommend The Last Bookshop in London. While the characters do go through some dark times, the overall story is uplifting and highlights the power of books.
