The Bookstore
Ratings2
Average rating3.5
Mitchell captured Esme's heart with his stunning good looks and a penchant for all things erotic. Life seems truly glorious... but before she has a chance to tell Mitchell about her pregnancy, he suddenly declares their sex life is as exciting as a cup of tea, and ends it all. Esme starts work at a small West Side bookstore, finding solace in George, the laconic owner addicted to spirulina, and Luke, the taciturn, guitar-playing night manager. When Mitchell recants his criticism, his passion and promises are hard to resist. But if Esme gives him a second chance, will she lose more than she can handle?

This book was not at all what I was expecting. I was expecting some sort of chick lit or romance novel. Instead, I got a kind of heavy literary fiction novel that broke my heart.
And I loved every page of it.
I don't often read real fiction. Yes, I understand that was an oxymoron – but typically I read fiction of the paranormal variety. Supernatural or mystical books that have no basis in reality.
The Bookstore was real. Esme's story was harsh and breathtaking and beautiful.
Her boyfriend Mitchell was the douche-baggiest of assholes (don't worry, though, I promise).
And The Owl? I wish it really existed! I would live there forever.
This story really had no beginning and no end. It was a snapshot of a period of time in Esme's life.
And it was... beautiful.
