The Hobby Shop on Barnaby Street

This was fine, a quick palate cleanser after several heavier reads. No disrespect to the author, but the book gave me Fisher-Price “My First Historical Romance” vibes. The WWII plot is simple and sanitized, with a plucky virginal heroine and “you can't do that to my sister” obstacle to her romance with a charming but conflicted hero. Takes place during the London Blitz but although buildings are demolished, the two MCs are not faced with the loss of any friends or family.
